This RDD telephone survey was conducted from January 12 – 16, 2018 throughout the nation.
Responses are reported for 1,212 self-identified registered voters with a margin of
sampling error of +/- 3.4 percentage points, including the design effect. Margins of
sampling error for subgroups are available upon request.

39% were Independents.
