Washington: Rothschild model shows Clinton in the lead

The Rothschild model provided an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will receive 95.0% of the two-party vote share in Washington, while Trump will win 5.0%.

Putting the results in context

Individual econometric models should be treated with caution, since they can contain substantial biases. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, research in forecasting recommends to look at combined econometric models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.

Results compared to other econometric models

If we look at an average of Washington econometric models, Clinton's current two-party vote share is at 54.1%. Relative to her numbers in the Rothschild model Clinton's econometric model average is 40.9 percentage points lower.
