Latest Vox.Com model: Clinton and Trump in a dead heat

The Vox.Com model is captured in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. According to the model, Clinton will collect 49.1% of the two-party vote share, while Trump will end up with 50.9%.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single models, as they often incorporate large errors. Instead of relying on results from single models, the best practice scientific advice is to rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that relies on different methods and data.
