The February 2011 Winthrop Poll includes respondents from the South (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) who are 18 years old or older (i.e. a general population survey of adults), with an oversampling of registered voters.
The results presented here include responses from 825 respondents giving results which use all respondents a margin of error of +/- 3.41% at the 95% confidence level. Reported results using a subset of the entire sample will naturally have a higher margin of error.
The survey was in the field from February 21 - 27, 2011. Phone calls were made during weekday evenings, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon and evening. Weekday daytime calls are not made to avoid oversampling those who are more likely to be at home during the day (e.g. retirees, stay-at-home-moms, etc.).
Data are weighted by relative state population and race, age, and sex (within state).
