Big-issue model shows Clinton in the lead

The Big-issue model is part of the index models component of the combined PollyVote forecast. It currently forecasts a major vote share of 51.2% for Clinton, and 48.8% for Trump.

Putting the results in context

Single index models should be regarded with caution, because they may include substantial biases. Rather than relying on results from single index models, research in forecasting recommends to consult combined index models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.

Comparison to other index models

An average of recent index models sees Clinton at 53.2% of the two-party vote. This value is 2 percentage points higher than corresponding numbers in the Big-issue index model.
