About this Poll
SurveyUSA interviewed 720 adults from the state of Missouri 08/09/12 through 08/12/12. Of the adults, 654 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 585 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the 11/06/12 general election. This research was conducted using blended sample, mixed mode. Respondents reachable on a home telephone (76% of likely voters) were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents not reachable on a home telephone (24% of likely voters) were shown a questionnaire on their smartphone, laptop or other electronic device. 43% of the interviews for this survey were completed before Mitt Romney announced that Paul Ryan would be his running mate. 57% of the interviews for this survey were completed after the Ryan announcement. The results of this survey should not be interpreted as a reaction to the Ryan announcement. All interviews were conducted after the 08/07/12 Missouri primary.
