About this Poll

This survey was conducted by Gonzales Research & Marketing Strategies from January 4th through January 11th, 2008. A total of 848 registered voters in Maryland who vote regularly were interviewed by telephone. A cross-section of interviews was conducted in each jurisdiction within the state to reflect general election voting patterns.

The margin of error (MOE), according to customary statistical standards, is no more than plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. There is a 95 percent probability that the “true” figures would fall within this range if the entire survey universe were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any demographic subgroup, such as gender, age or race.

The MOE for the Democratic sample of presidential contenders is plus or minus 5.3 percentage points. The MOE for the Republican sample of presidential contenders is plus or minus 6.1 percentage points.
