Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, you should not be overly confident the results of a single econometric model. Instead of trusting the results from single models, we recommend to consult combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
