Putting the results in context

Single polls should be regarded with caution, because they can include large errors. Rather than trusting the results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to look at combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 42.9% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

In comparison 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 45.6% and Trump % of the two-party vote in Michigan.
