How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: NBC 4 NY/WSJ/Marist New York Poll of 2,679 Adults This survey of 2,679 adults was conducted April 10 th through April 13 th, 2016 by The Marist Poll sponsored and funded in partnership with NBC 4 New York and The Wall Street Journal. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state of New York 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 New York 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. 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 ±1.9 percentage points. There are 2,260 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within ±2.1 percentage points. There are 544 voters in the potential Republican primary electorate. The potential Republican primary electorate in New York includes all registered Republicans. There are 1,065 voters in the potential Democratic primary electorate. The potential Democratic primary electorate in New York includes all registered Democrats. The results for these subsets are statistically significant within ±4.2 percentage points and ±3.0 percentage points, respectively. There are 313 likely Republican primary voters and 591 likely Democratic primary voters defined by a probability turnout model which determines the likelihood respondents will participate in the 2016 New York 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 ±5.5 percentage points and ±4.0 percentage points, respectively. The error margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations. NBC 4 NY/WSJ/Marist Poll New York April 2016 1
