Nature of the Sample: NBC News/WSJ/Marist Pennsylvania Poll of 1,022 Adults

This survey of 1,022 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 Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania 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, race and region.
Results are statistically significant within 3.1 percentage points. There are 834 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically
significant within 3.4 percentage points. The error margin was not adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
