Putting the results in context

Single polls should be treated with caution, as they can contain substantial biases. Instead of relying on results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to look at combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that uses different methods and data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, you can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 78.9% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison 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 54.0% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Missouri.
