Statement of Methodology

This survey of 500 registered Massachusetts voters was conducted April 9-April 13, 2026 , and is based on live interviews of adults 18 years of age or older who indicated that they were very or somewhat likely to vote in the September 2026 Democratic Primary Election for Governor and U.S. Senator. Each area's quota and demographic information including gender, race, education, age, and party affiliation was determined from midterm exit polling data, 2020 Census data, the American Community Survey, and current voter registration statistics. Samples of both standard landline and cell phones were called using a probability-proportionate-to-size method, which means that the phone numbers assigned to each area were proportional to the number of adult residents in each area. The 14 Massachusetts counties were grouped into four general regions. The margin of error is +/- 4.4 percentage points. All surveys may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to, coverage error and measurement error.
