DeSart model: In New Mexico trails by a very clear margin

The DeSart model enters the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. The model currently predicts a two-party vote share of 47.0% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump in New Mexico. In comparison, on August 4, Clinton was predicted to gain 53.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, since they often contain large errors. At least, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to other econometric models
