 METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,006 South Carolina adults were interviewed by telephone statewide by live interviewers calling both landline and
cellphones. All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect
statewide Census figures for gender, race, age, education and region of the state.
This sample includes 606 interviews among landline respondents and 400 interviews among cell phone respondents.
Respondents were asked questions about whether they are registered to vote, their likelihood of voting, past voting behavior, and
interest in the campaign. Based on the answers to those questions, 776 respondents were classified as likely voters, including 404
who were likely to participate in the Republican presidential primary and 280 who were likely to participate in the Democratic
presidential primary.
The South Carolina regions are composed of the following counties: the "Upcountry" region is composed of Anderson, Cherokee,
Greenville, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg counties; the "Piedmont" region is composed of Abbeville, Chester, Edgefield,
Greenwood, Lancaster, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, Saluda, Union and York counties; the "Central" region is composed of
Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Clarendon, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Orangeburg, Richland and
Sumter counties; the "PeeDee/Waccamaw" region is composed of Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry
Marion, Marlboro and Williamsburg counties; the "Low Country" region is composed of Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston,
Colleton, Dorchester, Hampton and Jasper counties.
Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of
+/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the population of Nevada or South Carolina to
produce crosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups but results for groups
with a sampling error larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed.
