Jerome model in Montana: Trump is in the lead

Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, a good strategy is to not have too much faith in the results of an individual econometric model. Instead of trusting the results from single models, you should consult combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which relies on different data.
