Putting the results in context

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

To make the results comparable to benchmark forecasts, we convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 42.9% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

In comparison 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 45.6% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Michigan.
