Rhode Island: Jerome model shows Clinton in the lead
The Jerome model is captured in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 38.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump in Rhode Island. In comparison, on August 4, Clinton was predicted to end up with 61.7% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
Single econometric models should be regarded with caution, as they often incorporate substantial biases. Instead of relying on results from single econometric models, the recommended strategy rely on combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.
