About this Poll
610 Registered Voters
Margin of Sampling Error: ± 4%
This survey includes Cell Phone Respondents and Landline Respondents: 700 Washington state adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 04/27/11 and 04/28/11, including 20% who use a cell phone as their only, or primary way to make and receive phone calls, and 80% who were interviewed using recorded voice on their landline home telephone. Cell phone respondents are crosstabbed against landline respondents, and in these results, show themselves to be more likely to be "undecided" about how they might vote, but otherwise not appreciably different than the landline respondents.
