Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, a good strategy is to not focus too much on the results of a single poll. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, the evidence-based approach is to look at combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which incorporates different data.

For the following comparison, we convert Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 86.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

In comparison to the average results of other polls Clinton performed better with 0.0 percentage points, while Trump did worse with 0.0 percentage points. The most recent PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 63.5% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Utah.
