1 FIELD RESEARCH CORPORATION FOUNDED IN 1945 BY MERVIN FIELD 601 California Street, Suite 900 San Francisco, California Tabulations From a Survey of California Likely Voters About Voter Preferences for President and U.S. Senate on the November General Election Ballot - prepared for the - Capitol Alert and the Sacramento Bee November 3, 2012

2 Introduction This volume presents the statistical data developed from a Field Poll survey of likely voters in California about voter preferences for President and U.S. Senate in the November 2012 general election ballot. The survey was conducted by The Field Poll among a representative sample of 1,566 likely voters statewide by telephone using live interviewers calling from Field Research Corporation s central location call center in San Diego. The survey was conducted by telephone using live interviewers in six languages and dialects English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, and Vietnamese from Field Research Corporation s central location call center in San Diego. Data collection was conducted over two consecutive interviewing periods. The first spanned the period October and included 815 likely voters, while the second was completed October and included 751 likely voters. Some questions were asked of voters interviewed in the first interviewing wave, while others were asked of voters interviewed only during the second wave. The voter samples from each interviewing wave were supplemented with additional interviews conducted among Asian-American voters to enable the survey compare how voters compared to the state s other major racial/ethnic voting populations. Funding for the multi-ethnic samples was provided by the New America Media, through a grant from the San Francisco Foundation.

3 Sampling The sample was developed from telephone listings of individual voters selected randomly from a listing of statewide voter registration rolls. Once a voter s name and telephone had been selected interviewers are attempted only with the specified voter. Interviews can be conducted on either the voter s landline or cell phone, depending on the source of the telephone listing from the voter file and the preference of the voter. In this survey 1,479 interviews were conducted on a landline phone and 433 were completed through a cell phone contact. Prior to the start of data collection, professionally-trained telephone interviewers were briefed with regard to the survey s proper calling and interviewing procedures by the Study Director. This session provided both interviewers and supervisors with an overview of the study and includes a question-by-question review of all items in the survey. Interviewers then completed survey interviews by telephone through the computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) system. CATI controls the telephone scripts read to individual respondents by displaying the appropriate questionnaire items and their valid response code alternatives in their proper sequence on computer screens at each interviewer's booth. The interviewer then reads each question aloud to the respondent from the screen and enters each respondent's pre-coded answer category through the keyboard directly to a computer disk. All answers are automatically stored in computer memory. In order to bring hard-to-reach respondents into the survey, up to six attempts (an initial call plus five callbacks) were made to each telephone number selected for inclusion into the sample. Callbacks were made at different times and on different days to increase the probability of finding voters available for the interview. Where possible, appointments are made at specified dates and times to maximize convenience and cooperation rates. Data Processing The data file resulting from CATI interviewing is itself virtually error-free. Even so, a final series of data checks were performed by means of a specially designed cleaning program that scrutinizes each respondent record for internally inconsistent information. Once the data were determined to be clean and error-free, the overall sample was weighted to align it to the proper statewide distribution of voters by race/ethnicity and to other demographic and regional characteristics of the state s voter population.

4 Guide to Reading the Tables The following is an explanation of the detailed statistical tabulations contained in this report: The question or questions upon which the data are based is shown at the top of each table Tables are percentaged vertically with the raw percentage base appearing at the top of each column. The data have been weighted. All percentages and frequencies reported in each table are therefore weighted tabulations. In instances where percentages are calculated on small bases (e.g., when the unweighted base is fewer than 100 respondents) the reader is urged to interpret the data with caution, since results are subject to larger levels of sampling error. Throughout the tables an asterisk is used to denote a value of less than 1/2 of 1%. A hyphen indicates zero value. On some tables the percentages may add to more than 100% due to multiple mentions. Bases of subgroups used in the tabulations may add to less than the total number of respondents due to some respondents not reporting that characteristic.

6 Estimates of Sampling Error In any survey based on a sampling, there is some sampling error introduced into the data by the process of sampling itself. When the sample has been drawn using random processes, it is possible to apply probability principles to determine the potential range of such error. While survey samples of human populations rarely, if ever, meet all of the criteria theoretically required for the application of these principles, it is customary to use them as an approximation of error that is introduced as a result of sampling. The table below shows the range of error that is associated with samples of various sizes, assuming the use of the 95% confidence level, which is customary for most public opinion surveys. For example, if 50% of the overall sample of 1,566 likely voters answered yes to a specific question, this statistic would have a sampling error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. This means that there is a 95% chance that had the overall population of likely voters statewide been interviewed using the same questionnaire and methods, the results of such a census would yield a result between 47.4% and 52.6%. The same procedure can be used to estimate the sample error ranges of any other statistic contained in this report.
