TIMES POLL / A Look at the Electorate

A Times statewide exit poll shows the demographic makeup of Tuesday’s California electorate and how the groups voted for governor, U.S. senator and on Proposition 187.

How the Poll Was Conducted

The Times Poll interviewed 5,336 voters as they exited 85 polling places across the state. Precincts were chosen based on the pattern of turnout in past general elections. The survey was by confidential questionnaire. The margin of sampling error for percentages based on the entire sample is plus or minus 3 percentage points. For some subgroups the error margin may be somewhat higher. Because the survey does not include absentee voters or those who declined to participate when approached, actual returns and demographic estimates by the interviewers were used to slightly adjust the sample. Davis Market Research Services Inc. of Calabasas assisted The Times in this poll.
