The ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted April 8-11 among 1,002 voters nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll was conducted April 8-11. The sample size was 900 adults, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points for the full sample.

And at least one of the polls was conducted in both English AND Spanish.

Folks also misunderstand margin of error. All it means is if you do the same dumb poll in the same dumb way you should get the same dumb result plus or minus the margin of error.

Folks tend to believe that the poll result is actual truth plus or minus the margin of error. It is not.
