The sample of telephone numbers was prepared by Genesys Sampling Systems of Ft. Washington, Pennsylvania, and was designed so that all residential telephones, including new and unlisted numbers, had a known chance of inclusion. The data were weighted on sex, race, education, and region of residence so as to reflect the demographic composition of the Virginia adult population. Percentages reported in the text and tables are weighted, while the number of cases shown in the tables for various subgroups is the actual number of respondents. Where the answers of subgroups are reported, the sampling error would be higher.
Surveys are also subject to errors from sources other than sampling.
While every effort is made to identify such errors, they are often difficult or impossible to measure. Readers making use of the results are urged to be mindful of the limitations inherent in survey research. Question wording for the poll can be found following the tables in this release. Some people are registered to vote and others are not. We are interested in finding out how much information about the candidates for governor is getting out to the public.
