Rhode Island: Crosstab model shows Clinton in the lead
The Crosstab model enters the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. It currently predicts a major vote share of 58.4% for Clinton, and 41.6% for Trump in Rhode Island.
Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, you should not focus too much on the results of a single econometric model. Rather, one should check how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
Results compared to the combined PollyVote forecast
The most recent PollyVote anticipates Clinton to gain 61.1% of the two-party vote in Rhode Island. The results of the Crosstab model for Clinton are thus 2.7 percentage points below the combined PollyVote in Rhode Island.
