Rothschild model: Clinton tied with Trump in Virginia

The Rothschild model enters the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. The model forecasts that Clinton and Trump will each gain 50% of the two-party vote.

In Virginia, the popular vote is usually decided by a narrow margin. This is the reason why the state is commonly referred to as a battleground state, which makes it particularly interesting from a forecasting perspective.
