Target population

U.S. citizens, aged 18 and over.

Sampling method

Respondents were selected from YouGovs opt-in Internet panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by age, gender, race, education,
and region) was selected from the 2010 American Community Study. Voter
registration was imputed from the November 2010 Current Population Survey
Registration and Voting Supplement. Religion, political interest, minor party
identification, and non-placement on an ideology scale, were imputed from
the 2008 Pew Religion in American Life Survey.

Weighting

The sample was weighted using propensity scores based on age, gender,
race, education, news interest, voter registration, and non-placement on an
ideology scale. The weights range from 0.1 to 4.1, with a mean of one and a
standard deviation of 0.82.
