Washington, D.C.: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart & Holbrook model provided an updated forecast of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will collect 91.4% of the two-party vote share in Washington, D.C., whereas Trump will end up with 8.6%.

Putting the results in context

As a general rule, however, one should not have too much faith in the results of single models, since they sometimes incorporate large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single models, we recommend to rely on combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.
