Gallup takes several steps to draw a representative sample ofthe population: they use dual-frame random-digit-dial samplingthat includes cell phones; they follow a random selection methodto choose one respondent within a household; and they provideSpanish-language interviewers for respondents who speak onlySpanish. Gallup also provides sample weights to compensate fordisproportionalities in selection probabilities and non-response,so that the weighted sample matches the national distribution interms of age, sex, region, gender, education and race. We utilize thesample weights in all of our analyses.
