Methodology
Sampling and Weighting Methodology for the August 2026 Texas Statewide Study
For the survey, YouGov interviewed 1218 Texas registered voters between August 5th, 2026 – August
13th, 2026 who were then matched down to a sample of 1,200 to produce the final dataset. The
respondents were matched to a sampling frame on gender, age, race, and education.1 The frame was
constructed by stratified sampling of a subset of Texas registered voters from the 2023 American
Community Survey (ACS) 1-year sample with selection within strata by weighted sampling with
replacements (using the person weights on the public use file). In addition, 2024 presidential vote was
weighted to the CNN exit polls.
The matched cases were weighted to the sampling frame using propensity scores. The matched cases
and the frame were combined, and a logistic regression was estimated for inclusion in the frame. The
propensity score function included age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, and home ownership.
The propensity scores were grouped into deciles of the estimated propensity score in the frame and
post-stratified according to these deciles. The weights were then post-stratified on 2024 Presidential
vote choice, a four-way stratification of gender, age (4-categories), race (4-categories), and education
(4-categories), as well a two-way stratification of race (4-categories), and education (4-categories), to
produce the final weight.
The margin of error for the sample is +/- 2.83%, and +/- 3.58% accounting for the weighted data for
registered voters.
Survey Panel Data
The YouGov panel, a proprietary opt-in survey panel, is comprised of 1.5 million U.S. residents who
have agreed to participate in YouGov Web surveys. At any given time, YouGov maintains a minimum
of five recruitment campaigns based on salient current events.
Panel members are recruited by a number of methods and on a variety of topics to help ensure diversity
in the panel population. Recruiting methods include Web advertising campaigns (public surveys),
permission-based email campaigns, partner sponsored solicitations, telephone-to-Web recruitment
(RDD based sampling), and mail-to-Web recruitment (Voter Registration Based Sampling).
The primary method of recruitment for the YouGov Panel is Web advertising campaigns that appear
based on keyword searches. In practice, a search in Google may prompt an active YouGov
advertisement soliciting opinion on the search topic. At the conclusion of the short survey respondents
are invited to join the YouGov panel in order to receive and participate in additional surveys. After a
double opt-in procedure, where respondents must confirm their consent by responding to an email, the
database checks to ensure the newly recruited panellist is in fact new and that the address information
provided is valid.

The YouGov panel currently has over 20,000 active panellists who are residents of Texas. These
panellists cover a wide range of demographic characteristics.
Sampling and Sample Matching
Sample matching is a methodology for selection of “representative” samples from non-randomly
selected pools of respondents. It is ideally suited for Web access panels, but could also be used for
other types of surveys, such as phone surveys. Sample matching starts with an enumeration of the
target population. For general population studies, the target population is all adults, and can be
enumerated through the use of the decennial Census or a high-quality survey, such as the American
Community Survey. In other contexts, this is known as the sampling frame, though, unlike
conventional sampling, the sample is not drawn from the frame. Traditional sampling, then, selects
individuals from the sampling frame at random for participation in the study. This may not be feasible
or economical as the contact information, especially email addresses, is not available for all individuals
in the frame and refusals to participate increase the costs of sampling in this way.
Sample selection using the matching methodology is a two-stage process. First, a random sample is
drawn from the target population. We call this sample the target sample. Details on how the target
sample is drawn are provided below, but the essential idea is that this sample is a true probability
sample and thus representative of the frame from which it was drawn.
Second, for each member of the target sample, we select one or more matching members from our pool
of opt-in respondents. This is called the matched sample. Matching is accomplished using a large set of
variables that are available in consumer and voter databases for both the target population and the opt-
in panel.
The purpose of matching is to find an available respondent who is as similar as possible to the selected
member of the target sample. The result is a sample of respondents who have the same measured
characteristics as the target sample. Under certain conditions, described below, the matched sample will
have similar properties to a true random sample. That is, the matched sample mimics the characteristics
of the target sample.
When choosing the matched sample, it is necessary to find the closest matching respondent in the panel
of opt-ins to each member of the target sample. YouGov employs the proximity matching method to
find the closest matching respondent. For each variable used for matching, we define a distance
function, d(x,y), which describes how “close” the values x and y are on a particular attribute. The
overall distance between a member of the target sample and a member of the panel is a weighted sum
of the individual distance functions on each attribute. The weights can be adjusted for each study based
upon which variables are thought to be important for that study, though, for the most part, we have not
found the matching procedure to be sensitive to small adjustments of the weights. A large weight, on
the other hand, forces the algorithm toward an exact match on that dimension.
