DeSart model in Utah: Trump is in the lead

The DeSart model published an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model expects that Clinton will achieve 21.8% of the two-party vote share in Utah, while Trump will end up with 78.2%. In comparison, on August 7, Clinton was predicted to end up with 78.2% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models often contain substantial errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, one should use combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.
