HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED AND THE
MARGIN OF ERROR CALCULATED

The CBS News/YouGov survey of 1,306 registered voters in Pennsylvania was conducted between
April 19-25, 2024.
This sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, and education based on the U.S.
Census American Community Survey, and the U.S. Census Current Population Survey, as well
as 2020 Presidential vote. “Likely voters” – respondents’ relative probabilities of voting – were
determined using a regression model that incorporates current, self-reported intentions to vote,
along with individual-level and aggregate data about voters, such as demographics and vote
history. Respondents were selected to be representative of registered voters in Pennsylvania. Of
the 1,306 respondents, 1,058 were selected from YouGov’s online panel, 110 were selected from
Pure Spectrum’s online panel, and 53 were selected from Dynata’s online panel. The weights
range from 0.1 to 3.9, with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation of 0.6.
The margin of error (a 95% confidence interval) for a sample percentage p based upon the entire
sample is approximately ±3.1 points.. It is calculated using the formula
s
1 + CV2
p̂ ± 100 ×
n

where CV is the coefficient of variation of the sample weights and n is the sample size used
to compute the proportion. This is a measure of sampling error (the average of all estimates
obtained using the same sample selection and weighting procedures repeatedly). The sample
estimate should differ from its expected value by less than margin of error in 95 percent of
all samples. It does not reflect non-sampling errors, including potential selection bias in panel
participation or in response to a particular survey.
