Crosstab model in Missouri: Trump is in the lead
The Crosstab model provided an updated forecast of the election outcome. It currently predicts a two-party vote share of 45.2% for Clinton, and 54.8% for Trump in Missouri. In comparison, on October 30 Trump was predicted to garner 54.7% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
Individual models may incorporate substantial errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Rather than relying on results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to use combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes different methods and data.
