Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, a good strategy is to not focus too much on the results of a single econometric model. Rather than relying on results from single models, the recommended strategy rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which incorporates different data.
