Crosstab model in Nevada: Clinton is in the lead

The Crosstab model released an updated forecast of the election outcome. According to the model, Clinton will garner 52.1% of the two-party vote share in Nevada, whereas Trump will win 47.9%.

Nevada is traditionally a purple state, where Republicans and Democrats have often gained similar levels of support among voters. Therefore, the election outcome in that state is viewed as critical in determining who will win the majority of electoral votes.

Putting the results in context

Single models may include 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.
