Putting the results in context

In general, however, a good strategy is to not have too much faith in the results of single polls, since they sometimes contain large errors. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to use combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which includes different data.

For the following analysis, we translate the candidates' raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. The corresponding figures are 13.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

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 46.1% and Trump % of the two-party vote in New Mexico.
