Jerome model in Kansas: Trump with clear lead

The Jerome model provided an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 43.8% for Clinton and 56.2% for Trump in Kansas. In comparison, on August 7, Clinton was predicted to win 56.2% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models should be treated with caution, since they can incorporate substantial errors. Rather, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to other econometric models

Trump is currently at 60.1% of the two-party vote according to an average of recent econometric models in Kansas. This value is 3.9 percentage points higher than his corresponding numbers in the Jerome model.
