Methodology
• The Poll was fielded in the Baltimore Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
in October 2011 and the Washington, DC MSA in November 2011.
• The Poll is part of WB&A’s established MarkeTrak® study of 300 adults
in each market, with a geographic sample representative of each market.
Telephone interviews are supplemented with an online study of 100
consumers per market.
• The Poll captures ten key demographic categories: age, gender,
household income, education, marital status, race, county/area,
presence of children in the household, Internet usage, and employment
status.
