Putting the results in context

Single models may contain large errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, you should rely on combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.

Looking at an average of econometric models, Trump's current two-party vote share is at 50.9%. Compared to numbers in the DeSart model Trump's econometric model average is 1 percentage point lower.
