d <br /> RESEARCH <br /> Introduction & Methodology 1 <br /> From May 16-23,2024, DHM Research conducted a telephone/hybrid survey of 300 registered voters <br /> in Kittitas County.The purpose of the survey was to understand voter sentiments, gauge voter support <br /> for a proposed Road Fund Levy,and test the resonance of support messages to inform the <br /> development and implementation of a communication plan that will resonate with voters and help <br /> achieve support for the levy. <br /> Research Methodology <br /> The telephone/hybrid survey consisted of 300 registered voters in Kittitas County and took <br /> approximately 11 minutes to complete.This is a sufficient sample size to assess voter opinions <br /> generally and to review findings by multiple subgroups including age, gender, race, education level, <br /> income level, political affiliation, and area. <br /> Respondents were contacted from a list of registered voters.Telephone respondents were contacted <br /> by a live interviewer, and text-to-online respondents received a text invitation directing them to an <br /> online survey. In gathering responses, a variety of quality control measures were employed, including <br /> questionnaire pre-testing and validation. Quotas were set by age,gender, race,education level, <br /> income level, political affiliation, and area to ensure a representative sample.Though quotas were set, <br /> income skewed lower than the median household income due to the prioritization of representative <br /> age groups within the allotted fielding time. <br /> Statement of Limitations <br /> Any sampling of opinions or attitudes is subject to a margin of error.The margin of error is a standard <br /> statistical calculation that represents differences between the sample and total population at a <br /> confidence interval,or probability,calculated to be 95%.This means that there is a 95% probability that <br /> the sample taken for the study would fall within the stated margin of error if compared with the results <br /> achieved from surveying the entire population.The margin of error for this survey is: ±6.01% <br /> DHM Research Background <br /> DHM Research has been providing opinion research and consultation throughout the Pacific Northwest <br /> and other regions of the United States for over 40 years.The firm is nonpartisan and independent and <br /> specializes in research projects to support public policy making. <br /> 3 1 DHM Research I Consor Kittitas County Public Works Survey I May 2024 <br />
