Putting the results in context

Single econometric models can include substantial errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single econometric models, the recommended strategy consult combined econometric models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.
