About this Poll
In Michigan, a total of 1,023 adults were interviewed by telephone. All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect statewide Census figures for gender, race, age, education and region of the state. Registered voters were asked questions about their likelihood of voting, past voting behavior, and interest in the campaign; based on the answers to those questions, 754 respondents were classified as likely voters. Among those likely voters, 38% described themselves as Democrats, 30% described themselves as Independents, and 32% described themselves as Republicans. Michigan does not have party registration.
