About this Poll

The survey of 600 randomly selected, likely voters in Wisconsin was conducted by phone with live interviewers from March 7-9. It was directed by Ken Goldstein, a UW-Madison political science professor. Goldstein has worked on national network election night coverage in every U.S. federal election since 1988, and is currently a consultant for the ABC News elections unit. During the 2008 presidential election, he was also the co-founder and director of the Big Ten Battleground Poll.

The sample of Wisconsin adults was selected by random digit dialing (RDD) of landline phones; cell-only households were not included. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points. The margin of error will be higher for sub-group analysis.

WPRI – a nonpartisan, not-for-profit think tank – has been conducting surveys on politics and issues for more than 20 years and is now commissioning Goldstein to independently conduct polls on a periodic basis.
