DeSart model: Trump in Maine trails by a very clear margin

The DeSart model enters the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. The model forecasts that Clinton will achieve 44.3% of the two-party vote share in Maine, whereas Trump will end up with 0.0%.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models can include substantial biases, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of relying on results from single econometric models, forecasting research recommends to look at combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.

Comparison to other econometric models
