About this Poll
The KCTS9 Washington Poll is a non-partisan, academic survey research project implemented by the Center for Survey Research at the University of Washington, a research center in the Department of Political Science. Dr. Matt Barreto, Associate Professor of Political Science director of The Washington Poll, and Dr. Christopher Parker, Associate Professor of Political Science is the director of the Center for Survey Research.

The survey was administered by telephone, using live callers, based on a randomly selected list of phone numbers using a publicly available list of registered voters. Voter registration status is confirmed by all respondents. Telephone numbers are merged in and verified by a third party vendor, and include both landlines and cell phones. The survey was in the field from October 1st – 16th, 2012, and averaged 28 minutes in length. A total of 782 registered voters and 644 likely voters throughout the state of Washington were interviewed, yielding a 3.5% and 3.9% margin of error respectively. Margin of error is larger for subsamples, or split sample components. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding. Full questionnaire can be found on the Washington Poll website.
