DeSart model: Clinton with clear lead in Connecticut

The DeSart model provided an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model predicts that Clinton will garner 56.6% of the two-party vote share in Connecticut, whereas Trump will end up with 43.4%.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, econometric models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, don't have too much faith in the results of a single econometric model. Rather than relying on results from single econometric models, the evidence-based approach is to rely on combined econometric models or, even better, a combined forecast that includes different methods and data.

Results vs. other econometric models

When compared to the average results of other econometric models Clinton performed better with 1.6 percentage points, while Trump did worse with 1.6 percentage points.
