Jerome model in South Carolina: Trump is in the lead
The Jerome model is included in the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast.

In comparison, on August 16, Clinton was predicted to gain 53.4% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
Individual models can contain substantial errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single models, we recommend to consult combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on different methods and data.
