The Winthrop Poll Fall 2006
The Winthrop Poll for Fall 2006, was conducted from Winthrop’s computer-assisted telephone interviewing research lab during the first half of October, with 559 randomly selected South Carolinians age 18 and up being queried on a range of social and political issues. The results have a margin of error of plus/minus 4.14 percent, at the 95 percent confidence level. From a Winthrop University press release The Winthrop Poll also integrates students into the process, offering them the opportunity to gain guided, hands-on experience in a real-world social and behavioral research environment, integrating sampling theory and methodology, professional calling techniques, computer-aided telephone interviewing technology, and post-survey results analysis. Winthrop University is a comprehensive public university of 6,500 students located in Rock Hill, S.C. From a Winthrop University press release by Rebecca Masters

79 percent of those responding said religion is very important in their lives.
* 73.5 percent of those responding said the favor changing the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman only. Of those who favor the amendment, 21 percent said knowing there is already a state law making it illegal for two persons of the same sex to marry would change their opinion regarding the need for a change to the constitution.
* 54.2 percent of those responded indicate they have co-workers, acquaintances, close friends, or relatives whom you know to be gay or lesbian
* 64.5 percent of those responding said they believe sexual relations between two adults of the same sex is always wrong.
* Of respondents who expressed a religious preference, 54 percent said they attend church services weekly. Among self-professed Protestants, 73.8 percent said they feel “the Bible is the literal word of God and without error.”
* Just over 52 percent said a religiously based alternative to evolution, such as “Intelligent Design,” should be taught in South Carolina’s public schools.
* Just over 53 percent said they would favor ‘a moment of silence for contemplation or silent prayer’ in public schools, while 42.4 percent would prefer a ‘spoken prayer.’
The Following was taken from the press releases of Winthrop University. I participated as the Operations Manager for the Social and Behavioral Research Lab here at Winthrop University operating the phones and organizing the questions. The SBRL is gearing up to conduct the Spring 2007 Edition.
