Putting the results in context

Single polls should be regarded with caution, since they can include large errors. Instead of relying on 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.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can translate them into two-party vote shares. The corresponding figures are 86.8% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Results compared to other polls

In comparison 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 59.7% and Trump % of the two-party vote in North Dakota.
