Bio-index model shows Clinton in the lead

Putting the results in context
Single index models may incorporate substantial errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. At least, one should check how a index model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

The Bio-index model in comparison with PollyVote's prediction
The current PollyVote anticipates Clinton to gain 53.7% of the two-party vote. The results of the Bio-index model for Clinton are thus 5.9 percentage points above the combined PollyVote.
