About this Poll
This survey of 827 New York State adults was conducted February 27th through March 3rd, 2014 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with NBC 4 New York and The Wall Street Journal. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state of New York were interviewed by telephone using live interviewers. Landline telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the state from ASDE Survey Sampler, Inc. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2010 Census results for age, gender, income, race, and region. Respondents in the household were selected by asking for the youngest male. Interviews were conducted in English or Spanish. Results for adults are statistically significant within ±3.4 percentage points. There are 658 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±3.8 percentage points. The error margin increases for cross-tabulations.
