The Emerson College Polling/KLAS-TV/The Hill Nevada poll was conducted October 26-29, 2022. The sample consisted of very likely voters, n=2,000, with a Credibility Interval (CI), similar to a poll’s margin of error (MOE) of +/- 2.1 percentage points.
The 1st Congressional District consisted of n=480, with a CI of +/- 4.4 percentage points.
The 2nd Congressional District consisted of n=530, with a CI of +/- 4.2 percentage points. The 3rd Congressional District consisted of n=510, with a CI of +/- 4.3 percentage points. The 4th Congressional District consisted of n=480, with a CI of +/- 4.4 percentage points.
The data sets were weighted by gender, age, education, region, and race/ethnicity based on 2022 turnout modeling. It is important to remember that subsets based on gender, age, education, and race/ethnicity carry with them higher margins of error, as the sample size is reduced.
Data was collected using cell phones via SMS-to-web, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system of landlines, web survey via email, and an online panel.
