 HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED

This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, Inc. of Jacksonville,
Florida from February 2 through February 5, 2021. A total of 625 registered
Mississippi voters were interviewed live by telephone statewide.

Those interviewed were randomly selected from a phone-matched Mississippi

voter registration list that included both land line and cell phone numbers.
Quotas were assigned to reflect voter registration by county.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians,

is no more than ± 4 percentage points. This means that there is a 95 percent
probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if all voters were
surveyed. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or
age grouping.
