Putting the results in context

Individual polls should be regarded with caution, as they often include large biases. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, the evidence-based approach is to use combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.

For the following comparison, we convert the candidates' raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 4.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Results in comparison to other polls

In comparison 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 62.5% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Oklahoma.
