Rhode Island: Crosstab model shows Clinton in the lead
The Crosstab model published an updated prediction of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will garner 58.5% of the two-party vote share in Rhode Island, whereas Trump will end up with 41.5%. In comparison, on October 27, Clinton was predicted to win 58.5% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
As a general rule, however, don't have too much faith in the results of single models, as they sometimes incorporate large errors. Instead of trusting the results from single models, we recommend to use combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes different methods and data.
Comparison to the combined PollyVote
The most recent PollyVote forecasts Clinton to gain 62.1% of the two-party vote in Rhode Island. PollyVote currently predicts Clinton to gain 3.6 percentage points more compared to the results of the Crosstab model.
