Washington, D.C.: Crosstab model shows Clinton in the lead

The Crosstab model provided an updated forecast of the election result. According to the model, Clinton will obtain 92.2% of the two-party vote share in Washington, D.C., while Trump will end up with 7.8%. In comparison, on October 29 Trump was predicted to gain 7.6% of the vote.

Putting the results in context

Individual models may contain substantial errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to rely on combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that draws upon different methods and data.
