Washington: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart & Holbrook model provided an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will garner 58.5% of the two-party vote share in Washington, while Trump will end up with 41.5%.

Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. In general, one should not put too much trust in the results of a single econometric model. At least, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
