Jerome model in North Carolina: Trump with small lead

Putting the results in context

Single models often incorporate large biases, and should be interpreted with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, we recommend to rely on combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which relies on different data.
