Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for June 2, 2023
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
June 2, 2023: In response to an open-ended question, 25% of voters say that the greatest threat to America’s national security right now is war or other countries. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 16% say immigration and 9% say the economy.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 Registered Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on May 15-17, 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.
