September 27, 2021

Quarterly Survey – September 2021

The following results are based on 600 completed interviews among a statewide random sample of adults in New Hampshire. Of the 600 interviews, 520 interviews were among registered voters (162 Republicans, 164 Democrats, and 194 undeclared voters). The interviews were conducted September 21 through 25, 2021.

The theoretical margin of error for the total sample of 600 is plus or minus 4 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split. The theoretical margin of error for the sample of 520 registered voters is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.
