For these survey results, 300 likely voters were sampled from the states file of active registered voters in the Utah 4 Congressional
District (see sampling details below). Sampling error is only one possible source of error in survey research. Results can also be
affected by measurement error (e.g. question wording and question order), coverage error (e.g. counting as likely voters survey
respondents who will not vote), and non-response error (e.g. the people who responded to the survey are systematically different from
people who refused or were not reachable).
Before drawing the sample, a model of general election turnout was estimated using age, political party registration, length of
registration, permanent absentee status, vote-by-mail county status, and past election turnout (one recent general election is used as
the dependent variable, in this case the 2008 general election). This model produces a sampling pool of registered voters that can
be randomly sampled based on their likelihood of voting. A Probability Proportionate to Size (PPS) sample was drawn using this
predicted turnout estimate such that voters with a higher probability of voting have a higher probability of being selected in the
sample. Thus, the final sample accurately approximates a population of general election voters.
Quotas were set to ensure that the data would reflect voter population proportions drawn from the PPS sample. After the interviews
were completed, we weighted the final dataset to ensure proportions better reflected the demographics in the PPS sample, including
propensity to vote, county of residence, and gender.
