Putting the results in context

Single polls can include large biases, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of relying on results from single polls, the evidence-based approach is to rely on aggregated polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.

In order to allow for comparing the poll results with forecasts from other methods, we translate them into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 53.3% for Clinton and 46.7% for Trump. On June 16 Clinton obtained only 52.9% in the Election Projection poll and Trump obtained 47.1%.
