OVERVIEW The study was conducted for CNN via telephone by SSRS, an independent research company. Interviews were conducted from May 28-31, 2019 among a sample of 1,006 respondents. The landline total respondents were 355 and there were 651 cell phone respondents. The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/- 3.8 at the 95% confidence level. The design effect is 1.49. More information about SSRS can be obtained by visiting . Question text noted in parentheses was rotated or randomized. Unless otherwise noted, results beginning with the March 31-April 2, 2006 survey and ending with the April 22-25, 2017 survey are from surveys conducted by ORC International. Results before March 31, 2006 are from surveys conducted by Gallup.

NOTE ABOUT CROSSTABS Interviews were conducted among a representative sample of the adult population, age 18 or older, of the United States. Members of demographic groups not shown in the published crosstabs are represented in the results for each question in the poll. Crosstabs on the pages that follow only include results for subgroups with a minimum n=125 unweighted cases. Results for subgroups with fewer than n=125 unweighted cases are not displayed and instead are denoted with "SN" because samples of that size carry larger margins of sampling error and can be too small to be projectable with confidence to their true values in the population.
