Crosstab model in Texas: Trump is in the lead
The Crosstab model published an updated forecast of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will obtain 45.6% of the two-party vote share in Texas, whereas Trump will end up with 54.4%. In comparison, on October 27 Trump was predicted to collect 53.9% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
Single models often include substantial biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single models, the best practice is to use combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which relies on different data.
