Jerome model: Clinton in Kentucky trails by a small margin

The Jerome model released an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 47.8% for Clinton and 52.2% for Trump in Kentucky.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, econometric models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, one should not be overly confident the results of a single econometric model. Rather, 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 Kentucky has Trump at 58.4% of the two-party vote. This value is 6.2 percentage points higher than his corresponding numbers in the Jerome model.
