About this Poll

Cell-Phone respondents included in this research: 545 Michigan adults were interviewed by SurveyUSA 10/12/11 through 10/14/11. Of them, 500 were registered to vote. This research was conducted multi-mode: respondents reachable on a home phone (69% of respondents) were interviewed on their home phone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer. "Cell phone" respondents -- those not reachable on a home phone (31% of respondents) -- saw the questions displayed visually on their smartphone or other electronic device. Cell phone respondents occasionally, but not always, vote differently than do landline respondents. For example: Mitt Romney trails Obama by 5 points among landline respondents but by 25 points among cell-phone respondents. When the two groups are proportionally blended, Romney trails by 11. Newt Gingrich trails Obama by 13 points among landline respondents, but by 46 points among cell-phone respondents. When the two groups are proportionally blended, Gingrich trails by 23.
