About this Poll

For this poll, a sample of likely households was chosen from the population registered to vote in the state of
Louisiana for a “hybrid” automated (for landlines)/live (for cell phones) poll, where 70% of the phone numbers
were landlines and 30% of the phone numbers were cell phones. There were 600 completed responses to 5 poll
questions.
The survey was conducted November 12-13. The margin of error, with a 95% confidence interval, was 4.0%. The
demographic breakdown of the respondents was 66-29.5% white/black (4% “other”), while the party registration
of respondents was 45-35% Democratic/Republican (20% Independents). The geographic breakdown of the
respondents was as follows: 5% from Alexandria, 21% from Baton Rouge, 14% from Lafayette, 5% from Lake
Charles, 8% from Monroe, 35% from New Orleans, and 12% from Shreveport (The explanation of the boundaries
of these regions is graphically depicted in Exhibit A at the end of the poll analysis).
