North Carolina: DeSart & Holbrook model shows Clinton in the lead
The DeSart & Holbrook model is part of the econometric models component of the PollyVote forecast. According to the model, Clinton will garner 50.5% of the two-party vote share in North Carolina, while Trump will win 49.5%. In comparison, on October 30, Clinton was predicted to collect only 50.4% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
Single models should be interpreted with caution, since they may incorporate large errors. Instead of relying on results from single models, one should consult combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
