Poll Demographics

About this Poll
These findings are based on the most recent Ohio Poll conducted by the Institute for Policy Research at the University of Cincinnati from May 9 through May 21, 2006.

A random sample of 698 registered voters from throughout the state was interviewed by telephone. In 95 of 100 cases, the statewide estimates will be accurate to plus or minus 3.7 percent.

In addition to sampling error, there are other sources of variation inherent in public opinion studies, such as non-response, question wording, or context effects that can introduce error or bias.

Results reported for subgroups have the potential for somewhat larger variation than those for the entire population.

Reported percentages may not total to 100% due to rounding.
