Statement of Methodology

This Suffolk University/Massachusetts Chambers Policy Network statewide survey of 500 residents was conducted January 31-February 5, 2026, and is based on live interviews of adults 18 years of age or older. Each area's quota and demographic information, including gender, race, education, age, and party affiliation, was determined from 2020 exit polling data, 2020 Census data, the 2022 American Community Survey, and affiliated sources. 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. All respondents indicated that they were residents of Massachusetts. The 14 Massachusetts counties were grouped into four general regions. The margin of error is +/-4.4 percentage points at a 95% confidence level. All surveys may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to, coverage error and measurement error.
