Fiscal model model: Trump with small lead

The Fiscal model model published an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will obtain 48.2% of the two-party vote share, while Trump will end up with 51.8%.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, you should not have too much faith in the results of a single econometric model. At the very least, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Results in comparison to other econometric models

An average of recent econometric models has Trump at 50.4% of the two-party vote. Relative to numbers in the Fiscal model model Trump's econometric model average is 1.4 percentage points worse.
