Putting the results in context

In general, however, you should not have too much faith in the results of single polls, because they can incorporate large errors. Rather than relying on results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to rely on combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, you can translate them into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields figures of 1.1% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
