The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
August 1, 2023: Forty-five percent (45%) of registered voters believe that parents within their state have too little control over their children’s education . A Scott Rasmussen National Survey found that among those with children at home, that figure rises to 58%.
The survey also found that just 15% of all voters believe parents currently have too much control, and that 25% of voters believe that the balance of control is at an appropriate level in their state.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on July 24-25, 2023. Field work for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the -sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation’s population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population.
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.
Note: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
