About the Study

This ABC News/Ipsos poll was conducted October 13 to 14, 2023, by Ipsos using the probability-
based KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 518
adults age 18 or older. One respondent was removed from the final data for refusing all of the survey
items.

The survey was conducted using KnowledgePanel, the largest and most well-established online
probability-based panel that is representative of the adult U.S. population. Our recruitment process
employs a scientifically developed addressed-based sampling methodology using the latest Delivery
Sequence File of the USPS – a database with full coverage of all delivery points in the U.S.
Households invited to join the panel are randomly selected from all available households in the U.S.
Persons in the sampled households are invited to join and participate in the panel. Those selected
who do not already have internet access are provided a tablet and internet connection at no cost to
the panel member. Those who join the panel and who are selected to participate in a survey are sent
a unique password-protected log-in used to complete surveys online. As a result of our recruitment
and sampling methodologies, samples from KnowledgePanel cover all households regardless of
their phone or internet status and findings can be reported with a margin of sampling error and
projected to the general population. KnowledgePanel members receive a per survey incentive,
usually the equivalent of $1 (though for some it is $2) in points, that can be redeemed for cash or
prizes. No prenotification email for this study was sent prior to field. Panelists receive a unique login
to the survey and are only able to complete it one time. One reminder email was sent for this study.

The study was conducted in both English and Spanish. The data were weighted to adjust for gender
by age, race/ethnicity, education, Census region, metropolitan status, household income, and party
identification. The demographic benchmarks came from 2022 Current Population Survey (CPS) from
the US Census Bureau. Party ID benchmarks are from recent ABC News/Washington Post
telephone polls. The weighting categories were as follows:

 Gender (Male, Female) by Age (18–29, 30–44, 45–59, and 60+)

 Race/Hispanic Ethnicity (White Non-Hispanic, Black Non-Hispanic, Other or 2+ Races Non-
Hispanic, Hispanic)
 Education (High School graduate or less, Some College, Bachelor and beyond)
 Census Region (Northeast, Midwest, South, West)
 Metropolitan status (Metro, non-Metro)
 Household Income (Under $25,000, $25,000-$49,999, $50,000-$74,999, $75,000-$99,999,
$100,000-$149,999, $150,000+)
 Party ID (Democrat, Republican, Independent, Something else)

TOPLINE & METHODOLOGY

The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for
results based on the entire sample of adults. The margin of sampling error takes into account the
design effect, which was 1.11. The margin of sampling error is higher and varies for results based on
sub-samples. Sampling error is only one potential source of error. There may be other unmeasured
non-sampling error in this or any poll. In our reporting of the findings, percentage points are rounded
off to the nearest whole number. As a result, percentages in a given table column may total slightly
higher or lower than 100%. In questions that permit multiple responses, columns may total
substantially more than 100%, depending on the number of different responses offered by each
respondent.
