DeSart & Holbrook model in Michigan: Clinton is in the lead

The DeSart & Holbrook model published an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will collect 56.3% of the two-party vote share in Michigan, whereas Trump will win 43.7%. In comparison, on October 19 Trump was predicted to garner 43.5% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Single models often incorporate substantial biases, and should be treated with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, the evidence-based approach is to look at combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that relies on different methods and data.
