About this Poll

This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from September 20 through September 22 2010. A total of 625 registered Nevada voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. All said they were likely to vote in the November general election.

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 ±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.
