Nature of the Sample: NBC News/WSJ/Marist Iowa Poll of 1,023 Adults

This survey of 1,023 adults was conducted August 3rd through August 7th, 2016 by The Marist Poll sponsored and funded in partnership
with NBC News and The Wall Street Journal . Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state of Iowa were contacted on landline or
mobile numbers and interviewed in English or Spanish by telephone using live interviewers. Landline telephone numbers were randomly
selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the state of Iowa from ASDE Survey Sampler, Inc. The exchanges
were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. Respondents in the household were randomly
selected by first asking for the youngest male. This landline sample was combined with respondents reached through random dialing of cell
phone numbers from Survey Sampling International. Assistance was provided by Luce Research for data collection. After the interviews
were completed, the two samples were combined and balanced to reflect the 2013 American Community Survey 5-year estimates for age,
gender, income, and race, except for region, which is from the 2010 census. Results are statistically significant within 3.1 percentage
points. There are 899 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within 3.3 percentage points. The error
margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
