Putting the results in context
Individual polls often contain large biases, and should be treated with caution. Instead of trusting the results from single polls, we recommend to use combined polls or, even better, a combined forecast that uses different methods and data.
To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, we translate them into two-party vote shares. This procedure yields figures of 70.0% for Clinton and 30.0% for Trump.
