HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED

This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from August 7 through August 8, 2006. A total of 625 registered Nevada voters were interviewed statewide by telephone. All stated they vote regularly in state elections.

Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect voter turn-out by county.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 4 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or regional grouping.

SAMPLE FIGURES:

Men - 309 (49%)
Women - 316 (51%)

Democrats - 257 (41%)
Republicans - 263 (43%)
Independents - 105 (17%)

REGION

Clark County - 400 interviews
Washoe County - 125 interviews
Rural Nevada - 100 interviews
