From July 18-24, 2020 Colby College contacted 968 registered voters in Maine. Respondents were further screened, and those who indicated they were definitely or probably be voting in the 2020 general election were included as completed responses (N=888). The results of this survey include interviews conducted over the telephone and online. Sampling design and fielding were managed by researchers at Colby College. A probability-based telephone survey of n=300 likely voters was conducted using a voter file that was obtained from Scientific Telephone Samples (STS). Interviewers from Quantel Research randomly selected numbers to call from the voter file and interviewers asked to speak with the person named in the database. Gender and age verification were performed to ensure the correct respondent was contacted. Both cell phones and landlines were included. All interviews were conducted in English. The sample was divided by Congressional district, with approximately half of the responses coming from each of Maine’s two Congressional districts. Weighting was used to account for non-response error and weighted to match the geodemographic composition of the voter file on the key variables of age, gender, Congressional district, and partisanship. Additionally, data from the April 2019 Current Population Survey were used to weight the data on the basis of educational attainment using a raking methodology.
