TMC January 2014 Tracking Poll Toplines Final 2-5-2014

The Morning Consult National Healthcare Tracking Poll: January 2014
Topline Results
Methodology: This poll was conducted from January 28-31, 2014, among a national sample of 2,158 likely 2014 voters. The interviews were conducted online by Survey Sampling International, Inc. The data were weighted to approximate a target sample of likely voters based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, region, annual household income, home ownership status and marital status. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points. In addition to sampling error, there are many common sources of error and bias such as variation in question order, question wording, respondent attentiveness and survey attrition that may influence the overall results.
