Putting the results in context

Single polls often incorporate substantial biases, which is why they should be treated with caution. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, forecasting research recommends to look at combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that draws upon forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

To make the results comparable to benchmark forecasts, we translate them into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 15.0% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Results in comparison to other polls

When compared to the average results of other polls Clinton performed worse with 0.0 percentage points, while Trump did better with 0.0 percentage points. The most recent PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 45.8% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Oregon.
