Putting the results in context

Individual econometric models should be regarded with caution, as they may incorporate large biases. Rather, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to other econometric models

An average of recent econometric models in Indiana has Trump at 57.3% of the two-party vote. This value is 0.7 percentage points higher than his corresponding numbers in the Jerome model.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote
