Putting the results in context
In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single polls, as they sometimes contain large errors. At least, one should examine how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.
For the following analysis, we translate Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. The respective figures are 52.8% for Clinton and 47.2% for Trump.
Results compared to the combined PollyVote forecast
The current PollyVote forecasts Clinton to gain 46.0% of the two-party vote in Arizona. That is, Polly's forecast is 6.8 points below her polling numbers. The PollyVote forecast is therefore outside the poll's sampling error.
