Putting the results in context
Single econometric models can incorporate large errors, and should be interpreted with caution. At least, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
Comparison to other econometric models
An average of recent econometric models in Massachusetts has Clinton at 62.1% of the two-party vote. Compared to her numbers in the DeSart model Clinton's econometric model average is 0.5 percentage points lower.
