February 2012

The February 2012 Winthrop Poll interviewed 878 adults living in South Carolina. Results which use all respondents have a margin of error of +/- 3.31% 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 1/29-2/6, 2012. No calling was done on Feb. 5, 2012 - Super Bowl Sunday.

Findings: Methodology, Press Release and Results,  Full Instrument (NOTE: screening, such as for cell-only, is done as part of the full disclosure introduction, not part of the instrument)

The December 2012 Winthrop Poll interviewed 929 adults living in South Carolina.

Results that use less than the full sample (e.g. just Registered Voters or just those who voted in the 2012 presidential election) will naturally have a higher margin of error. For data of those who voted in the 2012 presidential election, the sample size is 600 and after weights (for sex, age, and race) have been applied, results which only use these respondents have a margin of error of approximately +/- 4% at the 95% The survey was in the field from 11/25-12/2, 2012.
