Putting the results in context

Single polls should be regarded with caution, as they often contain substantial errors. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, we recommend to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that incorporates forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

For the following analysis, we convert the candidates' raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 86.8% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump. On August 15 Clinton obtained only 86.8% in the NYT Upshot poll and Trump obtained 0.0%.

Results vs. 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 59.7% and Trump % of the two-party vote in North Dakota.
