Florida: Clinton and Trump neck-and-neck in new Jerome model

The Jerome model released an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model forecasts that Clinton will receive 51.0% of the two-party vote share in Florida, whereas Trump will win 49.0%.

In Florida, the popular vote is often decided by a narrow margin. Therefore, the state is commonly referred to as a purple state, which makes it particularly interesting from a forecasting perspective.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models often incorporate substantial errors, and should be interpreted with caution. Rather, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Results in comparison to other econometric models
