Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, don't be overly confident the results of an individual poll. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, forecasting research recommends to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that draws upon forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

For the following analysis, we convert the candidates' raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields values of 38.8% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
