Rothschild model: Clinton with very clear lead in Delaware

The Rothschild model provided an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model predicts that Clinton will garner 99.0% of the two-party vote share in Delaware, while Trump will win 1.0%. In comparison, on August 14, Clinton was predicted to collect only 1.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, one should not have too much faith in the results of single econometric models, since they can contain large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single econometric models, the recommended strategy rely on combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses different methods and data.

Results compared to other econometric models

Looking at an average of Delaware econometric models, Clinton's current two-party vote share is at 55.4%. Relative to her numbers in the Rothschild model Clinton's econometric model average is 43.6 percentage points lower.

The Rothschild model in comparison with PollyVote's prediction

The results of the Rothschild model for Clinton are thus 33.9 percentage points above the combined PollyVote, which at the moment predicts a value of 65.1% in Delaware. In comparison, a look at the PollyVote national prediction for Clinton shows that the actual results are 46.0 percentage points higher.
