Jerome model in Texas: Trump is in the lead
The Jerome model released an updated prediction of the election result. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 46.8% for Clinton and 53.2% for Trump in Texas.
Putting the results in context
In general, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, since they can incorporate large errors. Rather, 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 Texas sees Trump at 57.0% of the two-party vote. This value is 3.8 percentage points higher than his corresponding numbers in the Jerome model.
