HPU Poll 105 is an online survey sponsored by the High Point University Survey Research Center on Aug 19 through Aug. 21, and contracted through SurveyUSA using panels of respondents recruited and maintained by Lucid Holdings, LLC. SurveyUSA managed data collection and Lucid Holdings, LLC. sent invitations to its panels of North Carolina adult respondents and collected 1,053 total registered voter responses. The online samples are from panels of respondents, and their participation does not adhere to usual assumptions associated with random selection. Therefore, it is not appropriate to assign a classic margin of sampling error for the results. In this case, the SRC provides credibility intervals of plus or minus 4 percentage points for the registered voter sample to account for a traditional 95% confidence interval for the estimates and a design effect based on the weighting. The data is weighted toward population estimates for age, gender, race, home ownership, and education as well as recall of 2020 presidential vote. Factors such as question wording and other methodological choices in conducting survey research can introduce additional errors into the findings of opinion polls. Percentages may not add to 100 because of rounding.
Further results and methodological details from the most recent survey and past surveys can be found at the Survey Research Center website. Materials online include past press releases as well as memos summarizing the findings (including approval ratings) for each poll since 2010.
The HPU Poll reports methodological details in accordance with the standards set out by AAPOR’s Transparency Initiative, and the HPU Survey Research Center is a Charter Member of the Initiative.
