  • Vermont VPR / VT PBS September 2020 Poll Polling Methodology
    Vermont VPR / VT PBS September 2020 Poll Polling Methodology This project was sponsored jointly by Vermont Public Radio (VPR) and Vermont PBS, Colchester, VT. The sponsors worked with Rich Clark, professor of political science and former director of the Castleton Polling Institute, to develop the questionnaire. Data were collected between September 3 and September 15, 2020 by Braun Research, Inc., a market research, data collection, and data processing company headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, with call centers in four locations. Interviews were conducted by phone with live interviewers. A dual frame landline and cell phone random digit dialing design was used; the sampling procedures for both frames are described below. Of the 604 completed interviews, 239 were conducted over landline phones, and 365 with cell phones. For the cell phone sample, interviewers selected whomever answered the phone, assuming a one-to-one relationship between phone number and individuals. Anyone who did not live in the prescribed geographic area (the state of Vermont) was screened out as ineligible. For the landline sample, interviewers requested to speak with the youngest male member of the household who is at least 18 years of age; if there was no male in the household, interviewers requested the youngest female. The margin-of-error is (+/-) 4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level for data representing the entire sample. Data were weighted by utilizing a raking method to reflect census figures for gender, age, education, and geographic distribution (county-level population) across the state. The weights are based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates from 2018 for the state of Vermont.
