Maryland: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead
The DeSart & Holbrook model is captured in the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote.

Putting the results in context
In general, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single models, because they can contain large errors. Rather, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
