The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
October 10, 2022: Forty-two percent (42%) of voters say their own states give parents too little control over their children’s education. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that just 19% think their states give parents too much control, and 28% think the balance is about right.
The survey also found that 74% of voters think the United States is a good place to raise children compared to other nations. Just 16% think it is not.
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on September 29-October 1, 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.
