Elections 2004: Washington Post Daily Tracking Poll
Sunday, October 31, 2004; 7 a.m. ET | | | | The Washington Post tracking poll will be conducted daily until Election Day. The latest tracking result represents the four-night average of data collected by telephone Oct 27 - 30 among a randomly selected national sample of 3,617 adults, including 3,165 self-identified registered voters and 2,615 likely voters. The Post and ABC News collect data jointly but are responsible for developing their own methods to identify likely voters. This may produce slightly different estimates of candidate support. The margin of sampling error for results based on these three groups is plus or minus 3 percentage points, and slightly larger for subsamples. Sampling error is only one of many potential sources of error in this or any other public opinion poll. Interviewing was conducted by TNS of Horsham, Pa. More on Poll Methodology *= less than 0.5 percent 1. How closely are you following the 2004 presidential race: very closely, somewhat closely, not too closely, or not closely at all? Very Somewhat Not too Not closely No
closely closely closely at all opin.
