Poll Demographics

About this Poll

The October 2010 Winthrop Poll includes respondents from South Carolina who are likely voters. Respondents are screened for current registration status and likelihood of voting. Results do not include responses from respondents who were screened out of the survey. However, some demographic data were collected from these individuals to be used in comprehensive statistical weighting.

The results presented here include responses from 741 respondents giving results which use all respondents a margin of error of +/- 3.6% at the 95% confidence level. Reported results using a subset of the entire sample will naturally have a higher margin of error.

The survey was in the field from October 5 - 10, 2010. Phone calls were made during weekday evenings, all day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon and evening. Weekday daytime calls are not made to avoid oversampling those who are more likely to be at home during the day (e.g. retirees, stay-at-home-moms, etc.).
