Putting the results in context

Individual polls should be regarded with caution, because they can contain substantial errors.

In order to make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, you can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields figures of 0.7% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
