  • THE WISCONSIN SURVEY - Spring 2002
    THE WISCONSIN SURVEY - Spring 2002 http://www.snc.edu/survey/report_twss02.html THE WISCONSIN SURVEY Survey Information: Survey Sponsors: Wisconsin Public Radio and St. Norbert College Survey Methodology: Random statewide telephone survey of Wisconsin residents. The random digit dial method selects for both listed and unlisted phone numbers. Eight attempts were made on each telephone number randomly selected to reach an adult in the household. Survey History: the survey has been conducted biannually since 1984. Data Collection Time Period: 3/20/02 - 4/7/02 N = 407 Error Rate: 4.864% at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error will be larger for subgroups. Key Findings: According to the Wisconsin Public Radio - St. Norbert College Survey Center poll, if the general election were held today, Governer McCallum would be ahead of Democratic or third party contenders in hypothetical election pairings of candidates. However, in the race between McCallum and Doyle, the percentage lead McCallum has over Doyle is within the margin of error of the survey. In other words, there is no statistically significant difference between the two candidates. In the hypothetical pairings of McCallum against the other Democratic Party candidates, McCallum appears to be well ahead. Another indicator of sentiment for the candidates is the "favorable" and "unfavorable" ratings. Here, Doyle rates the highest, with 36% of respondents saying they had a favorable impression of him, compared to McCallum's 31%. Similarly, only 18% of respondents said they had an unfavorable opinion of Doyle compared to 35% of respondents saying they had an unfavorable opinion of McCallum. So, why is there no significant difference in the polls between McCallum and Doyle when Doyle seems to be more highly esteemed? More people have not heard of Doyle than McCallum and those who have not heard of Doyle are likely to vote for McCallum.
