These variables explain about 30% of the variance election outcomes, which means there's 70% that they don't explain. That seems fairly realistic to me. And the average error is around 4 points of the incumbent party's vote *share*, which is around 8 points of vote *margin*. — PolitiTweet.org

It does *OK* but not *great*. https://t.co/46vzrSG129 — PolitiTweet.org

And that assumes you know what economic conditions will look like in November, which in July you don't. This year in particular, we estimate that economic uncertainty is 2-3x higher than usual. — PolitiTweet.org
