NEW HANOVER COUNTY POLL—US SENATE AND 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTICT ELECTIONS; PRESIDENTIAL, STATEWIDE AND COUNTY JOB APPROVAL RATINGS AND ISSUES

 IOPL Fall 2010 Poll Survey Methodology

The Fall 2010 Class of the Institute of Political Leadership (IOPL) interviewed 405 New Hanover County registered voters on Thursday and Friday evening, October 21-22, 2010.  The poll has a margin of error of +or- 4.0%.  The IOPL classes have conducted 46 polls—since February 1988—with over 11,500 New Hanover County voters.

The poll was conducted from the telephone call center of AOS Research Inc., of Wilmington, NC under the direction of Mr. Peter Higgins, President, and Ms. Christine Strahley, Vice President for Operations.  Data compilation was conducted by Ms. Laurie Grubb, Director of Data Processing for AOS Research Inc.

For over 30 years, New Hanover County has been a “bellwether” county (along with 10 other counties) for statewide voting in North Carolina; that is, as New Hanover County votes, so votes the state.
