Putting the results in context

As any other method, polls are subject to bias. Therefore, as a general rule, a good strategy is to not have too much faith in the results of a single poll. At the very least, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

In order to make the results comparable to forecasts from benchmark methods, one can translate them into shares of the two-party vote. This procedure results in values of 44.8% for Clinton and 0.0% for Trump.
