Methodology in Brief

This report summarizes findings from a nationally representative survey of 1,662 adult Americans 18 years and older. The survey was designed by Public Agenda, fielded May 3-6, 2022 by Ipsos. Respondents completed the survey in English. Public Agenda conducted three demographically diverse online focus groups in January 2022. When referencing this report, cite Public Agenda. The sample was randomly drawn from Ipsos’ online panel, partner online panel sources, and “river” sampling. Ipsos calibrates respondent characteristics to be representative of the U.S. population using standard procedures such as raking-ratio adjustments. The source of these population targets is U.S. Census 2018 American Community Survey data. Post-hoc weights were made to the population characteristics on gender, age, race/ethnicity, region, and education.
