Putting the results in context

Single polls should be treated with caution, because they may contain substantial biases. Instead of relying on results from single polls, the best practice is to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which incorporates different data.

For the following analysis, we translate Trump's and Clinton's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 87.5% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
