Methodology

This poll was conducted on September 4, 2018 using both automated (recorded) and live operator- initiated calls. In all, 1,128 participants from likely voting households completed all questions on the poll. The voters dialed were randomly selected from a proprietary registered-voter database of to assure the greatest chance of providing an accurate cross-section of opinion from the city-wide sample.

Our sampling methodology ensures that We Ask America poll results are “projectable,” meaning that if everyresident in a given geography were dialed, the results would not differ from the reported poll results by more than the stated margin of error at a 95% confidence level (the industry standard), if the same survey was repeated. For this case, results with a margin of error of ±3% at the 95% confidence level means that if the same survey were conducted 100 times, 95 times out of 100 the results would not vary in either direction by more than 3% in either direction.
