Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, don't focus too much on the results of an individual poll. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to use combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that includes different methods and data.

For the following analysis, we translate Trump's and Clinton's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 38.2% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

When compared to the average results of other polls Clinton performed worse with 0.0 percentage points, while Trump did better with 0.0 percentage points. The most recent PollyVote predicts Clinton to gain 42.4% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Illinois.
