About the Survey - These ZataPulse surveys were conducted with random nation-wide samples of 500 registered voters in each of the ethnicities noted.   The margin of error is 4.4% at a 95% confidence interval.  The survey waves  were about 14 days apart. Survey results are weighted by income quintiles based on 2006 US Census voter turnout estimates but are not  weighted by gender or vote frequency. The responses for the first question are weighted averages of the two digit responses from the voters’ key pad entries.
