Jerome model in New Mexico: Clinton with small lead
The Jerome model enters the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. The model currently predicts a two-party vote share of 52.2% for Clinton and 47.8% for Trump in New Mexico.
Putting the results in context
Single econometric models often include large biases, which is why they should be treated with caution. Rather, one should examine how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
Comparison to other econometric models
An average of recent econometric models in New Mexico sees Clinton at 52.6% of the two-party vote. Relative to her numbers in the Jerome model Clinton's econometric model average is 0.4 percentage points higher.
