CBS News/New York Times
Poll. April 30-May 1, 2014. N=1,054 adults nationwide.
Per CBS: "Additional
interviews were conducted with African Americans, who had previously
completed a survey as part of a random sample, to yield a sample size of
275. 660 whites were interviewed. The African American and non-African
American samples were weighted separately to match their group's population
characteristics such as gender, age, education, region, marital status and
phone use based on recent U.S. Census estimates. The samples were then
combined and weighted to the total U.S. adult population. The error due to
sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three
percentage points. ... The margin of error for the sample of whites is 5 pts
and 8 pts for African Americans." |
