Polling methodology: This survey of Nago City voters was conducted on Jan. 28–29 on a computer-aided random digit dialing (RDD) basis. Responses were received from 505 persons (out of the 736 households with one or more eligible voters). The survey was conducted jointly by Ryukyu Shimpo, Okinawa Times, and Kyodo News. The data collected was shared among the three outlets, and the results were analyzed separately by each company.
