About this Poll
THE BLUEGRASS POLL® is based on surveys conducted Jan. 30 to Feb. 3 with 1,082 Kentucky registered voters by SurveyUSA. The poll was conducted for The Courier-Journal, WHAS-TV, the Lexington Herald-Leader and WKYT-TV in Lexington. Seventy-seven percent of respondents were interviewed on their home telephone in the recorded voice of a professional announcer, while the other 23 percent were shown a questionnaire on their smart phone, tablet or other electronic device.

The margin of error for the polled questions was plus or minus 3 percentage points. In theory, one can say with 97 percent certainty that the results would not vary by more than the stated margin of sampling error, in one direction or the other, had all respondents with telephones been interviewed with complete accuracy. Percentages based on subsamples are subject to a higher potential margin of error. In addition to these sampling errors, the practical difficulties of conducting any survey can also influence the results.
