send and receive emails while she served as Secretary of State rather than using the governments
email system. Based on what you have heard or read, how serious a problem is it that Clinton used a
private email system while Secretary of State: Is it a very serious problem, somewhat serious, not too
serious or not a serious problem at all?

METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,009 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones.
Among the entire sample, 28% described themselves as Democrats, 24% described themselves as Republicans, and 48%
described themselves as Independents or members of another party
All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national
Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage.
Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of
+/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to produce crosstabs with
an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groups with a sampling error
larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "N/A".
