DeSart model: Clinton with clear lead

The DeSart model published an updated forecast of the election result. According to this model, Clinton will achieve 57.3% of the two-party vote share, whereas Trump will end up with 42.7%.

Putting the results in context

Single econometric models can contain substantial errors, and should be interpreted with caution. At least, one should check how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Clinton can currently count on 89.1% of the two-party vote according to an average of recent econometric models. In comparison to her numbers in the DeSart model Clinton's econometric model average is 31.8 percentage points better.
