Anderson Robbins Research (D) / Shaw & Company Research (R) Interviews Conducted:
N= 911 registered voters (709 landline, 202 cell phone) April 25-27, 2011
Methodology
The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and
Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll is based on live telephone interviews with a national
sample of 911 registered voters, and was conducted April 25-27, 2011 in the evenings.
Landline and cell phone telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey
using a probability proportionate to size method, which means that phone numbers for each state
are proportional to the number of voters in each state.
Results from Fox News polls before February 2011 were conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corp.
