About this Poll
This report summarizes the results of a survey of registered voters in Pennsylvania, which was conducted between March 1 and March 11, 2016. During the 10 day field period interviewers called weekday evenings between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 PM and between 11:00 AM and 6:00 PM on
weekends. For each working phone number, interviewers made no fewer than six attempt
s to contact individuals selected to participate in the study. Calls were initiated by CATI software or manually
dialed and relied on a list of randomly selected registered voters Pennsylvania obtained from L2.A total of 421 individuals were interviewed.For a sample size of 421, there is a 95 percent probability that the results are within plus or minus 4.8
points (the margin of error) of the actual
population distribution for any given question.For subsamples, the margin of error is higher (depending on the size of the subsample). Aside from sampling error, there are several factors that prevent the results obtained through a probability sample from being a perfect representation of the
results that would be obtained if the entire population was interviewed. This non-
sampling error may be caused by of a variety of factors including, but not limited to, response rate and question order. In
this survey, a variety of techniques were employed to reduce common sources of non-
sampling error.
