HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED
This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida from October 1 through October 6, 2018. A total of 625 registered voters in Florida’s 27th Congressional District were interviewed by telephone. All indicated they were “likely to vote” in the November general election
Those interviewed were randomly selected from a phone-matched Florida voter registration list from that included both land-line and cell phone numbers.
The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than ± 4 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if all voters were surveyed. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or age grouping.
