Putting the results in context

Single polls can contain large biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Instead of relying on results from single polls, forecasting research recommends to rely on combined polls or, even better, the combined PollyVote forecast that incorporates different methods and data.

For the following analysis, we translate Trump's and Clinton's raw poll numbers into shares of the two-party vote. The resulting figures are 55.4% for Clinton and 44.6% for Trump.

Comparison to other polls

An average of recent polls in New Mexico sees Clinton at 0.0% of the two-party vote. Relative to her numbers in the PPP (D) poll Clinton's poll average is 55.4 percentage points lower.

Comparison to the combined PollyVote
