2007 Voter Survey on Gun Regulations

Overbrook Research (R) and Lake Research Partners (D) completed 603 telephone surveys with Illinois registered voters from a random sample of Illinois residential phone numbers. The resulting sample matches the regional distribution of the electorate and has the following demographics: 47% male, 53% female; 77% Caucasian, 13% African American, 3% Hispanic, 1% Asian, 1% Other and 6% Not known; 49% Democrats, 39% Republicans and 7% Independents.

In addition to the statewide phone survey, 300 voters were interviewed in four Illinois state senate districts: 21, 23, 28, 43. District residents were identified by matching census tract/block group numbers to telephone records listed within those geographic locations. The sampling error for the statewide survey is +/-4%, at a confidence level of 95% and the sampling error for the district interviews is +/-5.7%. The surveys and interviews were conducted between February 17-25, 2007.
