Nature of the Sample: NBC News/WSJ/Marist Virginia Poll of 1,026 Adults

th
th
This survey of 1,026 adults was conducted August 4 through August 10 , 2016 by The Marist Poll sponsored and funded in
partnership with NBC News and The Wall Street Journal . Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state of Virginia were
contacted on landline or mobile numbers and interviewed in English or Spanish by telephone using live interviewers. Landline telephone
numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the state of Virginia from ASDE Survey
Sampler, Inc. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Respondents in
the household were randomly selected by first asking for the youngest male. This landline sample was combined with respondents
reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. Assistance was provided by Luce
Research for data collection. After the interviews were completed, the two samples were combined and balanced to reflect the 2013
American Community Survey 5-year estimates for age, gender, income, and region, except for race, which is from the 2010 census.
Results are statistically significant within 3.1 percentage points. There are 897 registered voters. The results for this subset are
statistically significant within 3.3 percentage points. The error margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for crosstabulations.
