Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for June 10, 2022
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
June 10, 2022: Forty-one percent (41%) of voters have close friends or family who gave their lives in a military conflict. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 50% do not, and 9% are not sure.
The survey also found that half of 18-34 year olds have lost a close friend or family member in a military conflict, while 42% of 35-49 year olds, 36% of 45-54 year olds, 35% of 55-64 year olds, and 38% of those over 65 have.
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on May 24-26, 2022. Fieldwork 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 +/- 2.8 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.
