DeSart model in Wyoming: Trump is in the lead

The DeSart model provided an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will collect 25.5% of the two-party vote share in Wyoming, whereas Trump will end up with 74.5%.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, a good strategy is to not have too much faith in the results of single models, because they sometimes incorporate large errors. Rather than relying on results from single models, forecasting research recommends to use combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
