rom that population. The sampling error for the registered voter sample is + 3.7 percent, at a 95 percent confidence interval. Thus if 50 percent of New Jersey residents were found to think the state was in good economic condition, one would be 95 percent sure that the true figure would be between 46.3 and 53.7 percent (50 + 3.7) had all New Jersey voters been interviewed, rather than just a sample. Sampling error increases as the sample size decreases, so statements based on various population subgroups, such as separate figures reported by race or age are subject to more error than are statements based on the total sample. Sampling error does not take into account other sources of variation inherent in public opinion studies, such as non-response, question wording or context effects. The verbatim wording of all questions asked is available in the full findings. The sample has been stratified based on county and the data have been weighted on age and education to insure an accurate proportional representation of the state. The questions referred to in this release are as follows. This study was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute.

New Jersey Breathes is an independent, collective voice for tobacco control convened by the Medical Society of NJ/Institute of Medicine and Public Health. More than 50 leading state, health, non-profit and civic organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and NJ GASP, participate in the coalition. New Jersey Breathes seeks to demoralize tobacco use and drive down smoking rates, especially among children, in the state.
