PEW RESEARCH CENTER FOR THE PEOPLE & THE PRESS OCTOBER POLITICAL SURVEY

The October Political Survey was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press between October 9–13, 2013, with a national sample of 1,504 adults. The survey included both landline and cell phone interviews, covering cell-only households as well as those with both landline and mobile phones. Weighting variables are provided to ensure representativeness and allow for comparisons between landline-only, cell-only, and combined samples.

The survey covered a range of political topics in the lead-up to the 2014 elections, including public opinion on government, partisan divides, the Tea Party, health care exchanges, and climate change.
