METHODOLOGY, SAMPLE FRAME CONSTRUCTION AND DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

This telephone poll is commissioned by the Federalist and conducted by Susquehanna Polling and Research, Inc1. Interviews were
conducted October 14-18, 2022, with 600 registered/likely voters in Arizona. Survey respondents are randomly contacted using
random selection procedures, and all telephone interviews are conducted using live telephone agents. The sample frame was
drawn from a randomly selected universe of households provided by Aristotle International which uses census state population
data compiled from certified voter registration rolls, as well as computer coding protocols to ensure the sample is both random and
geographically representative of the targeted universe. Eligible respondents are then pre-selected for the sample frame based
primarily on households with prior vote history in at least 1 of 4 (or better) general elections, using G20, 18, G16 and/or G14 as the
base universe; new registrants to the voter rolls since G20 are also eligible to be contacted. The sample frame includes a balanced
mix of both landline and cellular households consistent with the latest telephone usable patterns available. Households are pre-
screened to eliminate telephone numbers on the federal Do Not Call registry in compliance with federal and state laws.

Interviews are closely monitored to ensure a representative sample of registered/likely voters in Arizona is achieved based on party
registration, geography, racial background, gender, age and other demographics; results are sometimes statistically weighted to
account for non-response and/or coverage bias.

The margin of error for a sample size of 600 interviews is +/-4.0% at the 95% confidence level.
