Big-issue model shows Clinton in the lead

The Big-issue model enters the index models component of the PollyVote forecast. According to the model, Clinton will garner 51.1% of the two-party vote share, whereas Trump will end up with 48.9%.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, index models are subject to bias. As a result, don't be overly confident the results of an individual index model. Rather than trusting the results from single index models, we recommend to use combined index models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses different methods and data.
