The CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker is based on interviews conducted on the
internet between September 3 and 10 with 4,860 registered voters in Iowa, New
Hampshire, and South Carolina. The poll was conducted by YouGov, an online
polling organization.
Respondents were selected from YouGovs and two other online panels. These are
opt-in panels which are open for anyone to join. However, YouGov also randomly
selected persons from voter registration lists who had previously voted in primary
elections and contacted them by phone. A total of 19,047 registered voters were
contacted by phone and the YouGov sample includes 1,163 phone recruits.
