Jerome model in Texas: Trump is in the lead

The Jerome model provided an updated forecast of the election outcome. According to the model, Clinton will garner 46.8% of the two-party vote share in Texas, whereas Trump will win 53.2%. In comparison, on August 16 Trump was predicted to win 0.0% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single models may contain large errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, the recommended strategy use combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates different methods and data.
