Putting the results in context

Individual polls can contain substantial errors, and should be treated with caution. At the very least, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

For the following analysis, we convert Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields values of 9.0% for Clinton and 91.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

Trump currently runs at 49.6% of the two-party vote according to an average of recent polls. Relative to his numbers in the Ipsos/Reuters poll Trump's poll average is 41.4 percentage points lower.

Results compared to the combined PollyVote forecast

The most recent PollyVote anticipates Trump to gain 48.1% of the two-party vote. Hence, the PollyVote forecast is 42.9 points below his polling numbers.
