DeSart model: Clinton in Wyoming trails by a very clear margin

The DeSart model provided an updated prediction of the election outcome. It currently forecasts a major vote share of 25.5% for Clinton, and 74.5% for Trump in Wyoming. In comparison, on September 11 Trump was predicted to collect 0.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Individual models often include large errors, and should be treated with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to rely on combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
