Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Hence, a good strategy is to not focus too much on the results of an individual poll. Rather, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

For the following comparison, we translate Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 50.0% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump. On July 26 Clinton obtained only 48.9% in the WSB-TV/LandmarkWSB-TV poll and Trump obtained 51.1%.

Results in comparison to other polls

In comparison to the average results of other polls Clinton performed better with 51.4 percentage points, while Trump did worse with 51.4 percentage points. The most recent PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 52.6% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Georgia.
