Massachusetts: DeSart model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart model released an updated prediction of the election outcome. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 62.6% for Clinton and 37.4% for Trump in Massachusetts.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, because they often contain large errors. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, the best practice is to use combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes different methods and data.

Results compared to the combined PollyVote forecast

Clinton has 1.5 percentage points less and Trump has 1.5 percentage points more when the results of the econometric model are compared to the combined PollyVote forecast for Massachusetts.
