Putting the results in context

NYT Upshot released the results of a new poll, in which respondents from New Hampshire were asked for whom they will vote: Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Putting the results in context

Individual polls may include large biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. At the very least, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

In order to make the results comparable to benchmark forecasts, we convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields values of 9.6% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
