Putting the results in context

Individual polls should be interpreted with caution, because they often contain large biases. Rather than relying on results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to consult combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on different methods and data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure results in values of 97.2% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump. To compare: 97.3% was gained by Clinton in the NYT Upshot poll on August 15, for Trump this number was 0.0%.

Comparison 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 70.8% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Wyoming.
