representative, randomly selected sample of exactly 1,012 adults aged 18 and older across the United States was
interviewed by Ipsos. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate within ± 3.1 percentage
points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult population in the U.S. been polled.
We interviewed 858 registered voters. With a sample of this size, the results are considered accurate within ± 3.3
percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would have been had the entire adult population in the U.S.
been polled. The margin of error will be larger within regions and for other sub-groupings of the survey
population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to
coverage error, and measurement error. These data were weighted to ensure that the sample's composition
reflects that of the actual U.S. population according to U.S. Census figures. Interviews were conducted with
respondents on land-line telephones and cellular phones. Respondents had the option to be interviewed in
English or Spanish
