Hawaii: Crosstab model shows Clinton in the lead
The Crosstab model enters the econometric models component of the combined PollyVote. According to the model, Clinton will achieve 65.6% of the two-party vote share in Hawaii, whereas Trump will win 34.4%. In comparison, on November 3 Trump was still predicted to obtain 35.3% of the vote.
Putting the results in context
As any other method, models are subject to bias. Hence, don't rely too much on the results of an individual econometric model. Rather than relying on results from single models, forecasting research recommends to rely on combined models or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.
Comparison to other econometric models
An average of recent econometric models in Hawaii sees Clinton at 0.0% of the two-party vote. In comparison to her numbers in the Crosstab model Clinton's econometric model average is 65.6 percentage points worse.
