INTRODUCTION

This report for the Hassenfeld Institute for Public Leadership is based on a telephone

survey of a random sample of 400 Rhode Island registered voters.

Interviewing was conducted by telephone between June 18 and June 22, 2020. Each completed

interview lasted approximately seven minutes and forty-five seconds.

Interviews were completed only with registered voters in Rhode Island who passed a screen

designed to establish their registration status

The following category of respondents were screened out of the survey, and thus not included in

the final sample of 400 Rhode Island voters:

• Residents who indicated they were not registered to vote or not sure of their registration status in Rhode Island.

SAMPLING

The sample is an area random probability sample of Rhode Island residents; respondents'

telephone numbers were selected using a computer generated random sample of Rhode Island

registered voters. Twenty-eight percent of the calls were made to cell phones and 72% to

landlines.


(A sampling note: Several symbols are used in the tables of this report to designate groups

whose sample size is too small to ensure meaningful results.)

A single + will be found next to all groups whose sample size is less than 70 respondents but

at least 50.

Two +'s (++) will be found next to all groups whose sample size is less than 50.

Efforts were made to avoid underrepresenting young voters, a fairly common problem in

telephone polls. Interviewers were instructed to ask for the youngest person of voting age

presently at home to ensure an adequate sampling of young voters.

Totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding off.

In reading the data in this report and the computer's printouts provided to the Hassenfeld

Institute for Public Leadership, one should bear in mind that the results are subject to sampling

error; that is, the difference between the results obtained from our sample and the results, which

would be obtained by surveying the entire adult voting population.

The size of a possible sampling error varies with the percentage of any group given a particular

answer, and with the size of each group analyzed; i.e., ALL VOTERS, men, women, income, ages

18-39, etc.

The following table outlines the range of error in samples of different sizes and at different

percentages of response.

For the overall sample of 400 the sampling margin of error 95 times out of 100 is

approximately 4.9%, though slightly lower (4.0%) for responses selected by very high or low

percentages of the total sample.


GLOSSARY Throughout this report, mention will be made of several different groups within the state. For the

reader's benefit, a description is offered below of how these groups have been derived from

specific survey questions.
