Methodology
The sample for each state included n=1,000 registered voters. The data were weighted by statewide voter parameters such as gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, and voter registration and participation data. The credibility interval, similar to a poll's margin of error, for the sample is +/- 3% in 19 of 20 cases in each state.
The survey was administered by contacting respondents' mobile phones via MMS-to-web and landlines (except for MN) using Interactive Voice Response with Respondents provided by Aristotle, along with an online panel provided by CINT. Data was collected between June 13 and 18, 2024. The survey was conducted by Emerson College Polling and sponsored by Nexstar Media.
It is important to remember that subsets based on demographics such as gender, age, education, and race/ethnicity carry higher credibility intervals as the sample size is reduced. Survey results should be understood within the range of survey scores and know that with a 95% confidence interval a survey will fall outside the score range 1 in 20 times.
