About this Poll
This report is based on a panel study of 800 respondents drawn from a 1500 case random
sample of adult Ohio citizens (18 years or older) interviewed for the Spring 2008 Akron
Buckeye Poll. Both surveys were conducted by telephone by the Center for Marketing &
Opinion Research, LLC of Canton, Ohio. The panel re-interviews took place between
July 17 and August 17, 2008; a careful review the results revealed only modest
fluctuations over the field period. Both surveys were weighted to reflect the demographic
characteristics of the Ohio adult population based on the U.S. Census. The panel survey
produced 753 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage
points. This survey is part of a broader election year study of Ohio voters undertaken by
the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron.
