Anderson Robbins Research (D) / Shaw & Company Research (R)

N = 1,230 registered voters (616 landline, 614 cell phone)

Interviews Conducted:
November 1-3, 2015

Questions 2-3 and 6-28 are for release after 6:00 P.M. ET Wednesday, November 4, 2015.
Questions 1 and 4-5 are for release after 6:00 P.M. ET Thursday, November 5, 2015.
Methodology
The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and
Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll was conducted by telephone with live interviewers
November 1-3, 2015 among a random national sample of 1,230 registered voters (RV). Results
based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage
points.
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 are of registered voters, unless otherwise noted.
Results from Fox News polls before February 2011 were conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corp.

Question 1 is held for future release.
