About this Poll
The Kentucky Poll was conducted on behalf of the Lexington
Herald-Leader, WKYT-TV and WAVE-TV by Mason-Dixon Polling &
Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from October 18 through
October 19, 2010. A total of 625 registered Kentucky 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 plus or minus 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.
