About this Poll
The findings in this report are based on a random sample survey of 680 California registered voters, of whom 507 were considered likely to vote in the 2006 general election. The survey was conducted by telephone February 12-26, 2006 in English and Spanish.

Households were sampled using a random digit dial methodology, which randomly selects operating landline telephone exchanges within all areas codes serving California households in proportion to population. Within each exchange, telephone numbers are created by adding random digits to the selected telephone exchange. This method gives each phone listing an equal chance of being selected and permits access to all landline telephone numbers statewide, both listed and unlisted.

According to statistical theory, 95% of the time results from the overall registered sample have a sampling error of +/- 3.6 percentage points, while those from the likely voter sample have a sampling error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.
