METHODOLOGY
The NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking data for the week of June 27, 2016 through July 3, 2016 was conducted online among a
national sample of 11,486 adults aged 18 and over, including 10,072 who say they are registered to vote. Respondents for this survey were selected
from the nearly three million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform each day. Data for this week has been weighted for age,
race, sex, education, region, and voter registration status using the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey to
reflect the demographic composition of the United States. An additional smoothing parameter for ideology based on previous Election Tracking
interviews is included. The smoothing parameter was derived from aggregated data on ideology by region collected from previous weeks (May 1June 26) of the Weekly Election Tracking poll.
Because the sample is based on those who initially self-selected for participation rather than a probability sample, no estimates of sampling error
can be calculated. All surveys may be subject to multiple sources of error, including, but not limited to sampling error, coverage error, and
measurement error.
To assess the variability in the estimates and account for design effects, we create a bootstrap confidence interval to produce an error estimate.
The bootstrap confidence interval for this survey is plus or minus 1.2 percentage point for the full sample and plus or minus 1.3 percentage point
for registered voters.
To calculate the bootstrap confidence interval we use the weighted data to generate 5000 independent samples and calculate the 95% confidence
intervals for the weighted average. When analyzing the survey results and their accuracy, this error estimate should be taken into consideration in
much the same way that analysis of probability polls takes into account the margin of sampling error.
