Putting the results in context

In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single polls, since they can incorporate large errors. Rather than relying on results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which relies on different data.

For the following analysis, we translate the candidates' raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. The respective figures are 46.1% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
