The Research 2000 Iowa Poll was conducted from November 12 through November 14, 2007. A total of 600 likely voters who vote regularly in state elections were interviewed statewide by telephone.
Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect the voter registration of distribution by county.
The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 4% percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the “true” figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as for gender or party affiliation.
NOTE: There was an over sample conducted among both Democratic and Republican caucus voters totaling 400 respondents each. The margin for error among each sample is 5%.
SAMPLE FIGURES:
Men 288 (48%)
Women 312 (52%)
Democrats 194 (32%)
Republicans 180 (30%)
Independents/Other 226 (38%)
