Wisconsin: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead

Putting the results in context
Individual models often incorporate large biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. At the very least, one should check how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
Comparison to the combined PollyVote
The current PollyVote expects Clinton to gain 54.0% of the two-party vote in Wisconsin. The results of the DeSart & Holbrook model for Clinton are thus 0.1 percentage points above the combined PollyVote in Wisconsin.
