Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Thus, as a general rule, one should not be too confident the results of a single poll. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, the best practice scientific advice is to rely on combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.

For the following analysis, we translate Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This yields figures of 42.6% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
