2. I'm leaning towards +/- 6 percent.

To obtain a 3 percent margin of error at a 90 percent level of confidence requires a sample size of about 750. For a 95 percent level of confidence, the sample size would be about 1,000. While I don't know much about High Point University, I doubt that they have the resources to conduct a poll with such a large sample.
