DeSart model in Washington, D.C.: Clinton is in the lead
The DeSart model released an updated prediction of the election result. The model currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 91.9% for Clinton, and 8.1% for Trump in Washington, D.C..
Putting the results in context
Single models should be regarded with caution, as they can contain substantial biases. Instead of relying on results from single models, the best practice is to consult combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
