Results are based on telephone interviews conducted May 1-12, 2019 with a random sample of –1,009—adults,
ages 18+, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on this sample of national
adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
For results based on the sample of –509—national adults in Form A, the margin of sampling error is ±5
percentage points.
For results based on the sample of –500—national adults in Form B, the margins of sampling error is ±5
percentage points.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews
conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample of national adults
includes a minimum quota of 70% cell phone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional
minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cell phone telephone numbers are selected using
random digit dial methods. Gallup obtained sample for this study from Dynata. Landline respondents are
chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member has the next birthday.
Samples are weighted to correct for unequal selection probability, non-response, and double coverage of
landline and cell users in the two sampling frames. They are also weighted to match the national demographics
of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, population density, and phone status (cell phone-
only/landline only/both and cell phone mostly). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2018
Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older U.S. population. Phone status targets are based on
the January-June 2018 National Health Interview Survey. Population density targets are based on the 2010
census. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting.
In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce
error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls. For questions about how this survey was conducted,
