panel respondents. The sample was weighted to be representative of likely voters by age, gender, education, race, and
voting history. The survey was conducted in English. The margin of error is ±4.3 percentage points.
NB: subgroups with a n-size less than 50 (<50) are not shown on these cross-tabs. We choose not to display N<50
subgroups because the sample is too small to have statistical significance. We did, however, take samples of these
subgroups for representational and weighting purposes to accurately reflect the electorate makeup. Some values may
not add up to 100 due to rounding.
