Putting the results in context

Individual polls may include large biases, which is why they should be treated with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, research in forecasting recommends to use combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that relies on different methods and data.

For the following analysis, we translate Clinton's and Trump's raw poll numbers into two-party vote shares. This procedure results in values of 53.0% for Clinton and 47.0% for Trump.
