Methodology
On behalf of Mark Walker for Congress, Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Research conducted a
study of likely voters in North Carolina Congressional District 6. Respondents were screened
to ensure that they were neither a member of the news media nor a public relations
company. WPA selected a random sample of likely voters from the North Carolina voter file
using Registration Based Sampling (RBS).The sample for this survey was stratified based on
gender, age, party registration, ethnicity and geography. This methodology allows us to
minimize post-survey weighting which can reduce the reliability of survey results.

Respondents were contacted by phone via a live telephone operator interview September 03-
04, 2014. The study has a sample size of 306 likely voters in North Carolina Congressional
District 6 with a margin of error of 5.7% in 95 out of 100 cases.
