September 2011
Description:
The September 2011 Winthrop Poll interviewed 1552 registered voters from South Carolina. Results which use all respondents have a margin of error of +/- 2.49% at the 95% confidence level. Reported results using a subset of the entire sample will naturally have a higher margin of error.
The majority of questions, however, were only asked of Republicans and Independents who lean Republican (previous research has shown that leaners often behave in a more consistently partisan manner than weak party identifiers). These results come from 596 Republicans and Republican leaners in SC who are also registered to vote and have a margin of error of +/- 4.01% at the 95% confidence level. Reported results using a subset of the entire sample will naturally have a higher margin of error. The survey was in the field from September 11-18, 2011
