METHODOLOGY, SAMPLE FRAME CONSTRUCTION AND DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES

This telephone poll is commissioned by The Federalist and conducted by Susquehanna Polling and Research, Inc1. Interviews were
conducted April 19-27, 2022, with 800 registered/likely voters in the continental USA. Survey respondents are randomly contacted
using random selection procedures, and all telephone interviews are conducted using live telephone agents. The sample frame was
drawn from a randomly selected universe of U.S. households provided by L2, Inc. of Bothell, WA, which uses census state
population data compiled from certified voter registration rolls, as well as computer coding protocols to ensure the sample is both
random and geographically representative of the U.S. population. Eligible respondents are then pre-selected for the sample frame
based primarily on U.S. households with prior vote history in at least 1 of 4 (or better) general elections, using G21, G20, G19 and/or
G18 as the base universe; new registrants to the voter rolls since G21 are also eligible to be contacted. The sample frame includes a
balanced mix of both landline and cellular households consistent with the latest telephone usable patterns available. Households
are pre-screened to eliminate telephone numbers on the federal Do Not Call registry in compliance with federal and state laws.

Interviews are closely monitored to ensure a representative sample of registered/likely voters in the USA is achieved based on party
self-identification, geography, racial background, gender, age and other demographics; results are sometimes statistically
weighted to account for non-response and/or coverage bias.

The margin of error for a sample size of 800 interviews is +/-3.46% at the 95% confidence level.
