1 How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: McClatchy-Marist Poll of 1,249 This survey of 1,249 adults was conducted July 22 nd through July 28 th, 2015 by The Marist Poll sponsored and funded in partnership with the McClatchy News Service. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the continental United States were interviewed in English or Spanish by telephone using live interviewers. Landline telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the nation from ASDE Survey Sampler, Inc. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Respondents in the household were selected by asking for the youngest male. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. The two samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2013 American Community Survey 1-year estimates for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results are statistically significant within ±2.8 percentage points. There are 964 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±3.2 percentage points. The error margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
