DeSart model in Kentucky: Trump is in the lead
The DeSart model released an updated forecast of the election result. It currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 35.5% for Clinton, and 64.5% for Trump in Kentucky.
Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. Hence, a good strategy is to not rely too much on the results of an individual econometric model. Instead of relying on results from single models, you should rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.
Comparison to the combined PollyVote
The current PollyVote anticipates Trump to gain 61.4% of the two-party vote in Kentucky. PollyVote currently predicts Trump to gain 3.1 percentage points less compared to the results of the DeSart model.
