Rothschild model: Clinton tied with Trump in New Hampshire
The Rothschild model is captured in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. The model currently predicts a tie, with both Clinton and Trump receiving 50% of the two-party vote.
In New Hampshire, the election outcome is often decided by a narrow margin. This is the reason why the state is commonly considered a battleground state, which makes it particularly interesting from a forecasting perspective.
Putting the results in context
Single econometric models can include substantial errors, and should be interpreted with caution. Rather than relying on results from single econometric models, the evidence-based approach is to look at combined econometric models or, even better, a combined forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
