DeSart model in Delaware: Clinton with clear lead
The DeSart model provided an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model forecasts that Clinton will achieve 57.3% of the two-party vote share in Delaware, whereas Trump will end up with 42.7%.
Putting the results in context
Individual econometric models should be regarded with caution, because they can include large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single econometric models, we recommend to rely on combined econometric models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.
Comparison to other econometric models
Clinton currently runs at 55.4% of the two-party vote according to an average of recent econometric models in Delaware. Compared to her numbers in the DeSart model Clinton's econometric model average is 1.9 percentage points lower.
