Fair model shows Trump in the lead

The Fair model published an updated prediction of the election outcome. The model currently predicts a two-party vote share of 44.0% for Clinton, and 56.0% for Trump.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single models, because they may contain large errors. Rather, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Results compared to other econometric models

Trump currently achieves 50.4% of the major two-party vote according to an average of recent econometric models. This value is 5.6 percentage points lower than corresponding numbers in the Fair model.
