DeSart & Holbrook model in North Carolina: Trump is in the lead
The DeSart & Holbrook model is included in the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. The model currently predicts a major vote share of 46.4% for Clinton, and 53.6% for Trump in North Carolina.
Putting the results in context
Individual models can include large errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single models, you should consult combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
