A political candidate feels that she performed particularly well in the most recent debate against her opponent. Her campaign manager polled a random sample of 400 likely voters before the debate and a random sample of 500 likely voters after the debate. The 95% confidence interval for the true difference (post-debate minus pre-debate) in proportions of likely voters who would vote for this candidate was (–0.014, 0.064). What is the margin of error for this confidence interval?
