3 Presidential Outlook Summary From November 7 10, 2016, student volunteers at the College of Southern Maryland performed a telephone survey of residents in the Southern Maryland region (residents of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary s counties). The volunteers made 252 successful calls (completed surveys meeting screening criteria resident of the Southern Maryland region and at least 18 years of age) which yields a margin of error of ±6.2% based on the region s population. Analysis of the calls shows that the proportion of successful calls from Calvert County residents (19.4%), Charles County residents (47.6%), and St. Mary s County residents (32.9%) nearly mirrored the proportion of those county populations to the Southern Maryland regional population except for Calvert County. Regionally, Calvert County s population is 25.5% of the region s population, Charles County s population is 43.5% of the region s population; and St. Mary s County s population is 31.0% of the region s population. The survey results slightly overrepresent residents of Charles and St. Mary s Counties and underrepresent residents of Calvert County. The Pulse of Southern Maryland survey consisted of broad questions regarding the presidential outlook and respect for law enforcement. This document summarizes the questions regarding presidential outlook which were as follows: 1. How do you feel about the future of the United States? 2. What do you think should be the most important issue addressed by the president? 3. What quality in a president is most important to you? 4. Will you or did you vote in this year's presidential election? 5. What type of media was most influential in making your decision? 6. Did the debates affect your presidential choice? These survey questions were also asked on a Pulse of Southern Maryland survey conducted in fall The results of that survey are compared to the most recent survey results in this document. Graphs of the overall results to these questions can be found on pages 5 through 7, and detailed frequencies of the 2016 overall results can be found in the appendix on pages 8 and 9. A copy of the survey instrument can also be found in this document, beginning on page 10. As stated at the beginning of this document, the results shown in this document reflect the responses from respondents who met the screening criteria. Based on the sample size of the 2016 survey, segmented results by demographics such as county of residence, age groupings, income levels, become less reliable as the margins of error increase (e.g., sampling error was ±6.2% for the region and increased to ±14.0% when examining Calvert County results exclusively) and are not included in the analysis. 1 of 11

4 Overall Results How do you feel about the future of the United States? Change (pct pts) Very/somewhat confident 40.6% 41.4% 0.8% Very/somewhat pessimistic 41.7% 37.1% -4.6% When asked how they felt about the future of the United States, respondents were fairly evenly split between optimism (41.4% very/somewhat confident) and pessimism (37.1% somewhat/very pessimistic) [see figure 1, page 5]. The 41.4% overall confidence rating is slightly higher than the 40.6% confidence rating reported in the 2012 Presidential Outlook survey respondents were also less pessimistic overall than the 2012 respondents, 37.1% vs 41.7% in What do you think should be the most important issue addressed by the president? Change (pct pts) % Rank % Rank Economy/jobs 64.3% % % Deficit 14.8% 2 6.1% 5-8.7% Healthcare/Medicare 9.6% % % Immigration 2.1% 5 7.8% 4 5.7% National Security 9.2% % % As with the 2012 survey, 2016 survey respondents identified the economy and jobs as the most important issue to be addressed by the president 38.0% of those surveyed [see figure 2, page 5]. However, the percentage of respondents in the 2016 survey who identified economy and jobs as the most important issue declined by over 26 percentage points compared to the 2012 survey, with more importance shifting to other issues. National Security, which came in fourth in 2012 at 9.2%, was the second most frequently cited issue among 2016 respondents. Over one-third responding (33.5%) chose National Security as the most important issue to be addressed by the president, a 24 percentage point increase from the 2012 survey. Healthcare/Medicare gained in importance among respondents. While it ranked third in both the 2012 and 2016 surveys, over one-fifth surveyed (21.6%) identified Healthcare/Medicare as the most important issue in 2016, a 12 percentage point increase from the 2012 survey. Immigration came in fourth among 2016 respondents 7.8% chose this response as the most important issue. The Deficit, which was the second most cited issue among 2012 respondents at 14.8%, was the least cited issue among 2016 respondents. Only 6.1% of 2016 respondents identified the Deficit as the most important issue to be addressed by the president, a nearly 9 percentage point decline from of 11

5 What quality in a president is most important to you? Change (pct pts) % Rank % Rank Communication skills 7.0% % 4 3.4% Experience 13.4% % 3 1.0% Foreign policy knowledge 5.7% 6 8.0% 6 2.3% Integrity 43.9% % 1-2.3% Knowledge of economics 14.8% % 4-4.4% Other 15.3% % 2 2.3% Opinions about what quality in a president is most important have not changed much since the 2012 survey [see figure 3, page 6]. As in the 2012 survey, nearly half of respondents (41.6%) in the 2016 survey felt that the most important quality in a president is integrity which again ranked first by far in the list of qualities in the question. Ranked second again was something other than the specific qualities listed in the survey. There was some movement in the rankings with the other qualities listed (e.g., a very slight gain of one percent in those selecting experience and a drop of four percent in those selecting knowledge of economics), but generally, integrity is clearly the quality most respondents considered most important for a president to have. Will you or did you vote in this year's presidential election? Change (pct pts) Yes 87.5% 89.6% 2.1% No 12.5% 10.4% -2.1% Similar to 2012, the vast majority of respondents (89.6%) indicated that they voted or will vote in the presidential election [see figure 4, page 6]. What type of media was most influential in making your decision? Change (pct pts) % Rank % Rank Friends/co-workers 6.6% 5 4.3% 6-2.3% Internet 17.1% % 2-1.4% Newspaper 15.5% % 3-3.6% Radio 5.5% 6 5.2% 5-0.2% Social media 6.7% 4 9.0% 4 2.3% Television 48.6% % 1 6.1% As with the 2012 respondents, television was once again the type of media that was most frequently cited by 2016 respondents who indicated that they voted (or will vote) as the most influential in 3 of 11

6 making their choice for president, with over one-half (54.8%) selecting that choice, an increase of six percentage points [see figure 5, page 7]. The 2016 responses were very similar to the 2012 responses for the other media types ranked second again was the internet, with fifteen percent (15.7%) choosing that response. This reflected a small decline from the 2012 survey, but when combined with social media (9.0%), actually increases slightly to nearly one-quarter of respondents (24.7%). In the 2016 survey, nearly twelve percent (11.9%) chose newspaper, a slight decline from the 2012 survey. Radio and friends/co-workers were again least influential among 2016 respondents, with 5.2% and 4.3% selecting those choices, respectively. Did the debates affect your presidential choice? Change (pct pts) Yes 24.0% 37.5% 13.5% No 76.0% 62.5% -13.5% The debates had more impact on respondents decisions in the 2016 survey compared to the 2012 survey. While the majority of respondents (62.5%) again stated that the debates did not affect their choice for president, the percentage who stated that it did affect their choice grew from 24 percent to nearly 38% (37.5%) [see figure 6, page 7]. 4 of 11
