NBC News/WSJ/Marist Poll Illinois Adults,Registered Voters, & Potential Electorates
March 2016
How the Survey was Conducted
Nature of the Sample: NBC News/WSJ/Marist Illinois Poll of 2,252 Adults This survey of 2,252 adults was conducted March 4th through March 10th, 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 Illinois 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 Illinois 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. Both samples were matched by telephone number to a voter registration list for the state. Voter information was appended to each matched case. Assistance was provided by Luce Research for data collection and L2 for voter registration information. 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 ±2.1 percentage points. There are 1,968 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±2.2 percentage points. Among registered voters, 891 had a phone match in the voter file and 1,077 did not. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±3.3 percentage points and ±3.0 percentage points, respectively. There are 760 voters in the potential Republican primary electorate. The potential Republican primary electorate in Illinois includes all voters who prefer to vote in the Republican presidential primary and those who identify as Republicans or Republican leaning independents without a primary preference. There are 989 voters in the potential Democratic primary electorate. The potential Democratic primary electorate in Illinois includes all voters who prefer to vote in the Democratic presidential primary and those who identify as Democrats or Democratic leaning independents without a primary preference. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±3.6 percentage points and ±3.1 percentage points, respectively. There are 421 likely Republican primary voters and 529 likely Democratic primary voters defined by a probability turnout model which determines the likelihood respondents will participate in the 2016 Illinois Republican/Democratic Presidential Primary based upon their chance of vote, interest in the election, and past election participation. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±4.8 percentage points and ±4.3 percentage points, respectively. The error margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
