Washington: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart & Holbrook model released an updated forecast of the election outcome. The model currently predicts a major vote share of 58.5% for Clinton, and 41.5% for Trump in Washington.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. Hence, don't have too much faith in the results of a single econometric model. At least, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote

The current PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 58.0% of the two-party vote in Washington. PollyVote currently predicts Clinton to gain 0.5 percentage points less compared to the results of the DeSart & Holbrook model.
