Putting the results in context
Individual models should be treated with caution, because they can contain large biases. Instead of relying on results from single models, we recommend to consult combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.
Comparison to other econometric models
An average of recent econometric models sees Clinton at 49.9% of the two-party vote. This value is 2.1 percentage points lower than respective numbers in the Leading indicators model.
