Profile of the Electorate

The electorate that produced Tuesday’s results was more Democratic than usual and reflected a somewhat higher turnout of union members and supporters than four years ago. Otherwise, the turnout fit California’s classic profile, with voters tending to be older, wealthier and better educated.

How the Poll Was Conducted

The Times Poll/CNN interviewed 5,143 voters as they left 100 polling places across California during voting hours. Precincts were chosen based on the pattern of turnout in past statewide elections. The survey was by confidential questionnaire. The margin of sampling error for percentages based on the entire sample is plus or minus 2 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 adjust the sample slightly. Interviews at the precinct level were conducted by Davis Research of Calabasas. Times Poll results are also available at https://www.latimes.com/HOME/NEWS/POLLS or https://www.allpolitics.com.
