DeSart & Holbrook model in New Jersey: Clinton is in the lead
The DeSart & Holbrook model is part of the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote.

Putting the results in context
Individual models can contain substantial errors, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of relying on results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to consult combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
