The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
January 19, 2024: Eighty-seven percent (87%) of voters would have a favorable opinion of a company that sought to hire the best person for the job, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or religion. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that this includes 53% with a very favorable opinion of such a company.
The survey also found that just 10% would have an unfavorable view, including just 2% who would have a very unfavorable one.
Methodology
The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points. The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on January 8-9, 2024. 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.
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.
