DeSart model in Washington, D.C.: Clinton is in the lead
The DeSart model enters the econometric models component of the PollyVote. The model currently forecasts a two-party vote share of 91.9% for Clinton, and 8.1% for Trump in Washington, D.C..
Putting the results in context
Single models should be regarded with caution, because they often contain substantial errors. Instead of trusting the results from single models, the best practice is to look at combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that draws upon different methods and data.

The most recent PollyVote forecasts Clinton to gain 88.9% of the two-party vote in Washington, D.C.. The results of the DeSart model for Clinton are thus 3.0 percentage points above the combined PollyVote in Washington, D.C..
