HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED AND THE
MARGIN OF ERROR CALCULATED
The CBS News/YouGov survey of 2,460 adults in the U.S., including an oversample of 743 adults
age 18-29, was conducted between June 17-21, 2024.
This sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, and education based on the U.S. Census
American Community Survey, and the U.S. Census Current Population Survey, as well as 2020
Presidential vote and 2022 Congressional vote. Respondents were selected to be representative
of adults nationwide with an oversample of adults age 18-29. The weights range from 0.1 to 6.8,
with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation of 1.
The margin of error (a 95% confidence interval) for a sample percentage p based upon the
entire sample is approximately ±2.8 points and the margin of error for the sample age 18-29 is
approximately ±5.2 points. It is calculated using the formula
s
1 + CV2
p̂ ± 100 ×
n
where CV is the coefficient of variation of the sample weights and n is the sample size used
to compute the proportion. This is a measure of sampling error (the average of all estimates
obtained using the same sample selection and weighting procedures repeatedly). The sample
estimate should differ from its expected value by less than margin of error in 95 percent of
all samples. It does not reflect non-sampling errors, including potential selection bias in panel
participation or in response to a particular survey.
