Jerome model: Clinton with clear lead in New York

The Jerome model published an updated prediction of the election outcome. According to the model, Clinton will garner 58.9% of the two-party vote share in New York, while Trump will end up with 41.1%. In comparison, on August 16, Clinton was predicted to end up with only 41.1% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, one should not have too much faith in the results of an individual econometric model. Instead of relying on results from single models, we recommend to look at combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which includes different data.

Results compared to the combined PollyVote prediction
