Putting the results in context
Single econometric models should be regarded with caution, as they can include substantial errors. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, one should look at combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that draws upon different methods and data.

When compared to the average results of other econometric models Clinton performed worse with 3.9 percentage points, while Trump did better with 3.9 percentage points.
