HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED
Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect voter turn-out by county.
The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 4 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or regional grouping.
This poll also includes two over-samplings - one of Republican primary voters and one of registered voters in the Third Congressional District. These over-samplings are additional voters added to the statewide survey in order to increase the sample size within the two sub-groups and these respondents were only asked the questions relative to that section of the survey. The margin for error on both groups is plus or minus 6%.
SAMPLE FIGURES:
Men 310 (50%)
Women 315 (50%)
Democrats 267 (43%)
Republicans 233 (37%)
Independents 125 (20%)
