DeSart model in Oregon: Clinton is in the lead

The DeSart model enters the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. According to the model, Clinton will receive 54.0% of the two-party vote share in Oregon, while Trump will win 46.0%. In comparison, on August 16, Clinton was predicted to end up with only 46.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single models may include large errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. Rather than trusting the results from single models, the best practice is to look at combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which includes different data.
