"The random call system involved the Cape Cod phone book. We started with the letter “A”. We looked for residences of couples. We called each residence and recorded the results. We tried to made one actual contact per page, starting at page 1 of the white pages. This was our rationale: if we could get one contact per page, then 1 out of 300 people per page might be a good sampling of the actual Cape Cod population. Of course, as with all surveys, the more data, the more accurate the sampling."

"If someone asks for the name of the polling organization, say “www.newmedia.blogspot.com Research Poll.” ... Incidentally, although my husband thought he made up this name, the URL actually exists and belongs to a blogger who last entered a post on June 17, 2004!"

1. Why did they focus on residences of couples?
I guess they're more likely to vote than singles but singles do vote.

3. Legally recognized "couples" are less likely to be gay?
...and, therefore, less likely to be "progressive".
