How poll was done

The St. Petersburg Times-Miami Herald opinion poll was conducted by Schroth & Associates, a Washington polling firm that has extensive experience in Florida and is not affiliated with any presidential campaign. The pollster conducted 600 telephone interviews with likely Florida voters between Oct. 28-31. Statewide answers have a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. An additional 400 interviews were conducted in Broward, Dade, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. The margin of error is slightly higher among subgroups.
