DeSart model: Clinton with very clear lead in New Hampshire
The DeSart model published an updated prediction of the election result. The model forecasts that Clinton will receive 49.6% of the two-party vote share in New Hampshire, while Trump will win 0.0%. In comparison, on August 4 Trump was predicted to collect 49.6% of the vote.
New Hampshire is traditionally a battleground state, where Republicans and Democrats have historically won similar levels of voter support. This is why the election outcome here is regarded crucial in determining which party will win the majority of electoral votes.
Putting the results in context

Comparison to other econometric models
In comparison to the average results of other econometric models Clinton performed better with 0.0 percentage points, while Trump did worse with 0.0 percentage points.
