About this Poll
The survey findings presented in this release are based on the results of interviews
conducted March 17 – 23, 2015. The interviews were conducted at the Center for Opinion
Research at Franklin & Marshall College under the direction of the poll’s Director Dr. G. Terry
Madonna, Head Methodologist Berwood Yost, and Project Manager Jacqueline Redman. The
data included in this release represent the responses of 597 Pennsylvania registered voters,
including 294 self-identified Democrats, 225 self-identified Republicans, and 78 self-identified
Independents. The sample of registered voters was obtained from Labels & Lists. Survey results
were weighted (gender, region and party registration) using an iterative weighting algorithm to
reflect the known distribution of those characteristics as reported by the Pennsylvania
Department of State.
The sample error for this survey is +/- 4.2 percentage points when the design effects from
weighting are considered.
