Trump and Clinton neck-and-neck in new Keys to the White House index model

The Keys to the White House model released an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will garner 51.5% of the two-party vote share, while Trump will end up with 48.5%.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, a good strategy is to not have too much faith in the results of single index models, as they may contain large errors. At least, one should examine how a index model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
