Putting the results in context

Individual econometric models may incorporate large biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. At the very least, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Results compared to other econometric models

Looking at an average of Texas econometric models, Trump's current two-party vote share is at 57.1%. Compared to his numbers in the DeSart model Trump's econometric model average is 3.8 percentage points lower.
