This Washington Post-Univision poll was conducted on March 2-5 among a random sample of 449 likely Democratic voters in Florida’s presidential primary and 450 Republican primary voters, including interviews on land-line and cellular phones conducted in English and Spanish. Both samples included an oversample of Hispanic likely voters, which were weighted back to an estimate of their share of the primary electorate. The margin of sampling error for overall Democratic primary results is plus or minus six percentage points for Democratic primary results and 5.5 points for the sample of Republican primary results. The error margins for samples of 184 Hispanic Democratic voters and 164 Hispanic Republican voters are 9.5 percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by Bendixen & Amandi International and the Tarrance Group. A list of Florida registered voters was used to sample voters.
