The study was conducted by WorldPublicOpinion, a research group out of UMD. It's actually a pretty cool study, whether you want to believe it or not. What they don't bother discussing (maybe because it'd be a ***** to measure) is how likely the participants' views were swayed/changed by the news sources vs. set in stone regardless of whatever objective information they hear. There's really no way of knowing that.The poll was fielded from November 6 to 15, 2010 with a sample-size of 848 respondents. The margin of error for the full sample was 3.4%. The margin of error for the poll’s 616 self-reported voters is plus or minus 3.9%. It was conducted using the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®, a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Initially, participants are chosen scientifically by a random selection of telephone numbers and residential addresses. Persons in selected households are then invited by telephone or by mail to participate in the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®.
