Massachusetts: DeSart model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart model published an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model currently predicts a major vote share of 62.8% for Clinton, and 37.3% for Trump in Massachusetts. In comparison, on August 16, Clinton was predicted to gain only 37.4% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Individual models can contain large errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. At the very least, one should check how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote

The current PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 64.3% of the two-party vote in Massachusetts. PollyVote currently predicts Clinton to gain 1.5 percentage points more compared to the results of the DeSart model.
