West Virginia: DeSart model shows Trump in the lead

The DeSart model provided an updated prediction of the election result. The model currently predicts a major vote share of 33.3% for Clinton, and 66.7% for Trump in West Virginia.

Putting the results in context

In general, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single models, since they may contain large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single models, the recommended strategy use combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.
