Mississippi: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Trump in the lead

Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. In general, you should not put too much trust in the results of an individual econometric model. Instead of trusting the results from single models, one should rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
Results compared to the combined PollyVote forecast
The latest PollyVote forecasts Trump to gain 55.2% of the two-party vote in Mississippi. PollyVote currently predicts Trump to gain 1.8 percentage points less compared to the results of the DeSart & Holbrook model.
