About this Poll
On behalf of KGW TV, The Oregonian, and OregonLive, Riley Research Associates conducted a statewide telephone survey among 608 registered voters who indicated they were either very likely or certain to vote in the upcoming November election.

In past polls only those with a record of having voted in at least two of the last four elections were included. In this race, because many new voters have registered in the past year, we allowed new and less likely voters to participate, provided they indicated they are either “certain” or “extremely likely” to vote in the November 8 th election.

A sample of 608 is considered accurate to within +/-3.97 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence. The scientific telephone poll took place between October 4 th and October 14th, 2016.

The sample demographics were closely monitored to ensure they match those of Oregon’s likely voters, including accurate representation for gender, age, political party, and region. Both landlines and cell phones were included in the sample. Candidate names were read in rotating order to respondents in order to eliminate any sense of preference. Candidates’ names were associated with the political parties they represent.
