Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, don't focus too much on the results of an individual poll. Rather than relying on results from single polls, the recommended strategy consult combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which uses different data.

For the following analysis, we translate Trump's and Clinton's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 92.9% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
