Putting the results in context

Single polls should be regarded with caution, because they can contain large biases. Instead of relying on results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to consult combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that includes forecasts from different methods, each of which includes different data.

In order to make the results comparable to forecasts from benchmark methods, you can translate them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 32.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

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 35.6% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Massachusetts.
