Putting the results in context

As any other method, index models are subject to bias. Hence, one should not be overly confident the results of a single index model. Rather than trusting the results from single index models, you should rely on combined index models or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

Comparison to other index models

Clinton can currently count on 54.1% of the two-party vote in an average of recent index models. This value is 2.6 percentage points higher than corresponding numbers in the Keys to the White House index model.
