Echelon Insights fielded a survey to n=3000 registered voters to landlines and cell phones, sampled from a national voter file. Models were trained on the survey responses, with individual-level predictions of support for clean energy policies. These predictions were then aggregated to create estimates of support for each state and Congressional Districts.
