POLL METHODOLOGY
The St. Paul poll was conducted June 24-25, 1999 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. A total of 417 registered voters in the city were interviewed by telephone. Those interviewed were selected through the random dialing of phone numbers, utilizing a cross-section of city exchanges. The margin for error is plus or minus 5%. This means that there is a 95% probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if all voters were surveyed.
