Minnesota: Clinton and Trump virtually tied in latest DeSart model

The DeSart model provided an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model's forecast is that Clinton will garner 51.6% of the two-party vote share in Minnesota, while Trump will win 48.4%.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, as they can contain large errors. Instead of relying on results from single econometric models, the best practice scientific advice is to rely on combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote

Clinton has 2.2 percentage points less and Trump has 2.2 percentage points more when the results of the econometric model are compared to the combined PollyVote forecast for Minnesota.
