Mouse-over for notes about the data

The MOE for the sample (n=397) is +/- 4.92

Respondents indicating that they would vote in the Republican primary were asked, "If the 2012 Republican primary election for lieutenant governor were held today, which of the following possible candidates would you vote for, or haven't you thought about it enough to have an opinion?" The order of the response options were randomized.

  1. Susan Combs
  2. Dan Patrick
  3. Jerry Patterson
  4. Another Republican Candidate
  5. Todd Staples
  6. Dan Branch
  7. Don't know

Respondents were incorrectly asked about their primary vote for the 2012 primary for lieutenant governor, when they should have been asked about their vote intention for the 2014 Republican primary. This was corrected on the last day of interviewing, with no significant difference found between those asked their vote intention for 2012 versus 2014.
