New York: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead

The DeSart & Holbrook model enters the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. According to the model, Clinton will garner 64.6% of the two-party vote share in New York, whereas Trump will end up with 35.4%. In comparison, on October 20, Clinton was predicted to gain only 64.2% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Individual models should be regarded with caution, since they can contain large biases. Instead of trusting the results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to look at combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that draws upon different methods and data.
