Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, one should not put too much trust in the results of a single poll. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on different methods and data.

In order to make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can translate them into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 50.5% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

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 54.0% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Missouri.
