Maine: DeSart model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart model is captured in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 55.7% for Clinton and 44.3% for Trump in Maine.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, one should not have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, as they can incorporate large errors. Rather than relying on results from single econometric models, the best practice scientific advice is to consult combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

The DeSart model compared with PollyVote's prediction

PollyVote currently predicts Clinton to gain 54.5% of the two-party vote in Maine, which is 1.2 percentage points below the results of the DeSart model.
