Results for these polls were collected by Opportunity Arkansas Foundation using an independent polling firm. The income tax question utilized an IVR survey from a statewide sample of 436 likely Arkansas voters, conducted May 31 – June 2, 2022, with a margin of sampling error of ± 4.69 percentage points. The margin of sampling errors may be higher for subgroups. Results presented may not always appear to total 100 percent due to rounding. Data were post-stratified using weighted demographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey Voting and Registration Supplement and the state election authorities. Demographic information for actual voters in past elections was used to construct sample target weights. Opportunity Arkansas Foundation paid for all costs associated with these surveys.
