Putting the results in context

Individual polls should be interpreted with caution, as they can include large errors. At the very least, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

In order to make the results comparable to benchmark forecasts, you can convert them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 64.0% for Clinton and 36.0% for Trump.
