The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
June 21, 2023: Eighty-one percent (81%) of voters say that companies should always hire the person who is best for the job. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that just 12% believe that companies should consider sexual orientation and gender identity to ensure a diverse workforce.
The survey also found that 70% of voters agree it is important to ensure equal treatment for members of the LGBTQ community, including 40% who say it is very important.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on June 6-7, 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.
