Trump and Clinton virtually tied in new Keys to the White House index model

The Keys to the White House model provided an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 51.5% for Clinton, and 48.5% for Trump.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, index models are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, don't rely too much on the results of an individual index model. Rather than relying on results from single index models, the evidence-based approach is to look at combined index models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that relies on different methods and data.
