  4. Data Collection The data was collected in a telephone survey of 200 registered voters residing in Fayette County, conducted between July 14, 2006 and July 25, 2006. Respondents were stratified by age, gender and area of residence based on actual population percentages.1 Those who indicated they were employed in real estate development or construction, advertising, public relations or market research, as well as those who hold an elected office, were excluded from participation in the survey. Based on a total number of 163,870 registered voters in Lexington/Fayette County2, the sample of 200 provides research results at the standard 95% confidence level with a margin of error of plus or minus 6.93%. 1 Source: Commonwealth of Kentucky State Board of Elections voter registration statistics report (June 15, 2006).2 Source: Commonwealth of Kentucky State Board of Elections
