Trained interviewers called households whose telephone numbers were randomly selected by a computer. Then, one adult in each household was selected randomly to be interviewed for the poll. The results have been weighted to properly balance the sample by age, sex and regions of the state. The poll's margin of error for the likely voters is 4 percentage points. This means, in theory, in 19 out of 20 cases the poll results will differ by no more than 4 points above or below the results that would have been obtained by questioning all likely voters in Kentucky who have telephones.
Percentages based on subsamples are subject to a higher potential margin of error.
