Obama leads by 8 By: Mark Warner 08 (I-AUT) - 2008-01-25 @ 01:32:53 Question: Poll Demographics About this Poll The McClatchy-MSNBC Poll is a snapshot of voter opinion at the time it was conducted. It isn't a prediction of how people will vote on Election Day. The Mason-Dixon poll of 400 likely Democratic primary voters in South Carolina was conducted by telephone Tuesday and Wednesday. Those interviewed were selected by a random variation of telephone numbers from a cross-section of telephone exchanges. That means that anyone in the state with a phone line had the same odds of being called as anyone else, except for people who use only cell phones. Cell phone numbers aren't in the exchanges. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points. That means that 95 percent of the time, the correct numbers could be up to 5 percentage points above our poll's percentage-point findings or up to 5 percentage points below them. The other 5 percent of the time, the correct numbers could vary even more. The sampling margin of error doesn't include other variables that could affect results, including the way questions are worded or the order in which they're asked.
