Abstract
The National Agenda Opinion Project research was funded by the University of Delaware’s Center for Political Communication (CPC) and the William P. Frank Foundation. The study was supervised by the CPC’s Associate Director, Paul Brewer, a professor in the Departments of Communication and Political Science & International Relations. Results are based on telephone interviews with a representative sample of 902 adults residing in the state of Delaware. Telephone interviews were conducted via landline (n=450) and cell phone (n=452 including 190 without a landline phone). The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, and the interviews were administered in English by Princeton Data Source. The data were collected from September 10-22, 2014. Statistical results are weighted to correct known demographic discrepancies. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is ± 3.9percentage points. Results based on subsamples have larger margins of error. Readers should be aware that in addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
