N = 1,013 registered voters (516 landline, 497 cell phone)

Interviews Conducted:
September 20-22, 2015

Questions 6-7, 25-37, 46-51 are for release after 6:00 P.M. ET Wednesday, September 23.
Questions 1-5, 8-24 and 38-45 are held for future release.

Methodology
The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and
Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll was conducted by telephone with live interviewers
September 2022, 2015 among a random national sample of 1,013 registered voters (RV).
Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three
percentage points.
Landline and cell phone telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey
using a probability proportionate to size method, which means that phone numbers for each state
are proportional to the number of voters in each state.
Results are of registered voters, unless otherwise noted.
Results from Fox News polls before February 2011 were conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corp.

Questions 1-5 are held for future release.
