Putting the results in context

Single polls often incorporate large biases, and should be treated with caution. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, the recommended strategy look at combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, we translate them into shares of the two-party vote. The respective figures are 42.6% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
