 HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED AND THE
MARGIN OF ERROR CALCULATED

December 3, 2017

The CBS News 2017 Alabama poll is conducted by YouGov using a representative sample of
1,067 registered voters in Alabama between November 28December 1, 2017.
Respondents were selected from YouGovs opt-in panel to be representative of Alabama registered
voters according to gender, age, race (based on the Voting and Registration supplement of
the November 2016 Current Population Survey, conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census).
The responding sample was then weighted based on gender, age, race, education, and 2016
Presidential vote. The weights range from 0.02 to 6.02, with a mean of 1 and a standard
deviation of 0.76.
The margin of error (a 95% confidence interval) for a sample percentage p based upon the entire
sample is approximately 3.8%. Vote choice questions are reported among an eective weighted
N of 767 likely voters, and have a margin of error of 4.8%. The margin of error is calculated
using the formula s
1 + CV2
p 100
n
where CV is the coefficient of variation of the sample weights and n is the sample size used
to compute the proportion. This is a measure of sampling error (the average of all estimates
obtained using the same sample selection and weighting procedures repeatedly). The sample
estimate should dier from its expected value by less than margin of error in 95 percent of
all samples. It does not reflect non-sampling errors, including potential selection bias in panel
participation or in response to a particular survey.
