Lucie County. The survey was conducted from Friday, February 2nd through Wednesday, February 7th during evening hours. The composition of respondents took into account turnout in the 2014 and 2016 General Elections as well as current registration, in an attemptto make the final sample "look like" the County's likely 2018 General Election voting population. As such, the sample was balanced by gender, party, race, age, and region in order for our distribution to be consistent and similarto the actual voting population. In orderto better reach our targets and maintain a representative population, 23% of calls were made to cellphones.
