Jerome model: Clinton in Georgia trails by a small margin

The Jerome model is part of the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. The model currently predicts a two-party vote share of 47.6% for Clinton and 52.4% for Trump in Georgia.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, as they often incorporate large errors. At the very least, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to other econometric models

An average of recent econometric models in Georgia sees Trump at 54.5% of the two-party vote. This value is 2.1 percentage points higher than his corresponding numbers in the Jerome model.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote

PollyVote currently predicts Trump to gain 53.3% of the two-party vote in Georgia, which is 0.9 percentage points above the results of the Jerome model. In comparison, a look at the PollyVote national prediction for Trump indicates that the actual results are 4.4 percentage points higher.
