Putting the results in context

In general, however, one should not have too much faith in the results of single polls, as they may contain large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, forecasting research recommends to use combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which includes different data.

In order to make the results comparable to forecasts from benchmark methods, we convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 60.7% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

When compared 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 52.5% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Georgia.
