The poll is a random sample of the continental United States, not including Alaska and Hawaii, with interviews in English and Spanish. This questionnaire was administered with the exact questions in the exact order as they appear in this document. Demographics and religious identity questions are not shown. If a question was asked of a reduced base of the sample, a parenthetical preceding the question identifies the group asked. Phrases surrounded by parentheticals within questions indicate clauses that were randomly rotated for respondents. Results preceded by “RV” indicate results among registered voters. Results preceded by “LV” indicate results among likely voters. A dual frame landline and cellular phone telephone sample was generated using Random Digit Dialing procedures. Interviewers called landlines and cellular phone numbers, first requesting to speak with the youngest adult male or female at home. Roughly 35 percent are completed on landlines while 65 percent of interviews are completed on cellular phones, including roughly 35 percent among adults in cell phone-only households. Question 5 was asked Nov. 2-5 among 847 Clinton supporters and 834 Trump supporters; those results have a margin of error of plus or minus four points. Question 7 was asked Nov. 3-5 among 1,756 likely voters; those results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 points. Question 8 was asked Nov. 3-5 among 1,763 likely voters; those results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 points. Question 9 was asked Nov. 3-5 among 1,653 likely voters; those results have a margin of error of plus or minus three points. This survey uses statistical weighting procedures to account for deviations in the survey sample from known population characteristics, which helps correct for differential survey participation and random variation in samples. The overall adult sample is weighted to correct for differential probabilities of selection among individuals who are landline-only, cell phone-only or dual users. Results are also weighted to match the demographic makeup of the population by sex, region, age, education and race/ethnicity according to the latest Current Population Survey March Social and Economic Supplement by age, race/ethnicity, sex and education. Party ID was weighted to the average of the most recent Post-ABC surveys. All error margins have been adjusted to account for the survey’s design effect, which is 1.3 for this survey. The design effect is a factor representing the survey’s deviation from a simple random sample, and takes into account decreases in precision due to sample design and weighting procedures. Surveys that do not incorporate a design effect overstate their precision.
