About this Poll
This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida from July 9 through July 11, 2012. A total of 800 registered voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. All stated they were likely to vote in the November general election.

Those interviewed were randomly selected from a phone-matched Florida voter registration list that included both land-line and cell phone numbers. 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 ±3.5% percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if all voters were surveyed. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or party grouping.
