Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.^[4] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."^[5] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.
