Rothschild model: Trump in Illinois trails by a very clear margin

The Rothschild model enters the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. The model predicts that Clinton will collect 99.0% of the two-party vote share in Illinois, whereas Trump will win 1.0%. In comparison, on August 14, Clinton was predicted to achieve only 1.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context
