New Moore Info. (R) poll in Alaska: Clinton and Trump in a dead heat

Results of a new poll conducted by Moore Info. (R) were distributed. The poll asked respondents from Alaska for whom they will vote: Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The results show that 34.0% of interviewees would cast a ballot for former New York Senator Hillary Clinton, whereas 37.0% would cast a ballot for real estate developer Donald Trump.

The poll was carried out from October 5 to October 6 among 500 likely voters.

Putting the results in context

Single polls can incorporate large biases, which is why they should be interpreted with caution. Rather, one should check how a poll's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

To make the results comparable to forecasts from other methods, one can translate them into shares of the two-party vote. This yields figures of 47.9% for Clinton and 52.1% for Trump.

Results compared to the combined PollyVote prediction

The current PollyVote predicts Trump to gain 56.8% of the two-party vote in Alaska. That is, Polly's prediction is 4.7 points above his polling numbers.
