About this Poll

Cell-phone and home-phone respondents included in this research: SurveyUSA interviewed 700 adults 11/21/11 through 11/23/11. Of them, 613 were registered to vote. Of the registered, 549 were determined by SurveyUSA to be likely to vote in the November 2012 elections. This research was conducted multi-mode. Respondents who use a home telephone (81% of registered voters, 83% of likely voters) were interviewed on their home phone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. Respondents who do not use a home telephone (19% of registered voters, 17% of likely voters) were shown a questoinnaire on their smartphone, laptop, tablet or other electronic device. Consistent with other SurveyUSA research, cell-phone respondents thnk differently than do landline respondents on certain issues: 30% of landline respondents say Senator Murray is not responsible for the failure of the Super Committee, almost 4 times greater than the 8% of cell-phone respondents who say Murray is not responsible. 54% of cell phone respondents support the right for same sex couples to marry, compared to 37% of landline respondents.
