DeSart model in West Virginia: Trump with very clear lead

The DeSart model is captured in the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 33.3% for Clinton, and 66.7% for Trump in West Virginia. In comparison, on August 16, Clinton was predicted to collect 66.8% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Individual models should be treated with caution, because they can include substantial biases. Rather than trusting the results from single models, we recommend to rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses different methods and data.
