South Carolina: Crosstab model shows Trump in the lead
The Crosstab model is part of the econometric models component of the PollyVote. According to the model, Clinton will collect 46.6% of the two-party vote share in South Carolina, whereas Trump will win 53.4%.
Putting the results in context
In general, however, one should not have too much faith in the results of single models, as they can incorporate large errors. Rather, one should examine how a model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
