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

The DeSart & Holbrook model released an updated forecast of the election result. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 52.2% for Clinton, and 47.8% for Trump in Nevada.

In Nevada, the popular vote is often decided by a narrow margin. This is the reason why the state is commonly referred to as a purple state, which makes it particularly interesting from a forecasting perspective.

Putting the results in context

Individual models should be interpreted with caution, since they can incorporate large biases. At least, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
