Jerome model in Illinois: Clinton with comfortable lead
The Jerome model is part of the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. The model currently predicts a two-party vote share of 54.4% for Clinton and 45.6% for Trump in Illinois.
Putting the results in context
Single econometric models may include substantial biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, we recommend to look at combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that draws upon different methods and data.
