Latest Time-for-change model: Trump and Clinton neck-and-neck

The Time-for-change model released an updated forecast of the election result. It currently predicts a major vote share of 48.6% for Clinton, and 51.4% for Trump.

Putting the results in context

Individual models should be interpreted with caution, as they can contain substantial errors. Rather than trusting the results from single models, the evidence-based approach is to look at combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates different methods and data.

Results compared to other econometric models

Trump is currently at 50.9% of the two-party vote according to an average of recent econometric models. This value is 0.6 percentage points lower than respective numbers in the Time-for-change model.
