Putting the results in context

Individual polls may contain substantial errors, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to rely on combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

For the following analysis, we translate the candidates' raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure yields figures of 66.3% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Results compared to other polls

When compared 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 62.6% and Trump % of the two-party vote in West Virginia.
