About this Poll From a Washington Post poll conducted by telephone June 19-25, 2006 among 1,127 randomly selected Maryland adults, 902 whom reported they were currently registered to vote. With the exceptions of questions 1, 40 and 41, results shown are based on voters only. The survey also included an oversample of African American voters (total N=338) in order to more accurately analyze this group. Final results were adjusted to reflect the actual racial distribution of the state. Margin of sampling error for results based on the full sample is plus or minus three percentage points. For registered Democrats it is plus or minus four percentage points. Questions on the demographic makeup of the sample group are included at the end of the poll.
