Rothschild model: Clinton tied with Trump in Colorado
The Rothschild model released an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model currently predicts a tie, with each candidate winning 50% of the two-party vote.
In Colorado, the election outcome is often decided by a narrow margin. Therefore, the state is commonly referred to as a purple state, which makes it particularly interesting from a forecasting perspective.
Putting the results in context
