Methodology

Survey: Field Dates: January 25, 2024 – January 30, 2024  |  Sample: 1064 Respondents  |  Margin of Error: 3.7%

YouGov interviewed 1064 respondents, none of whom were matched out to produce the final dataset. The unmatched cases were weighted to a sampling frame using propensity scores. The sampling frame is a politically representative "modeled frame" of US adults, based upon the American Community Survey (ACS) public use microdata file, public voter file records, the 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS) Voting and Registration supplements, the 2020 National Election Pool (NEP) exit poll, and the 2020 CES surveys, including demographics and 2020 presidential vote.

The unmatched cases and the frame were combined, and a logistic regression was estimated for inclusion in the frame. The propensity score function included age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, region, and home ownership status. The propensity scores were grouped into deciles of the estimated propensity score in the frame, and then post-stratified according to these deciles. The weights were then post-stratified on 2020 presidential vote choice, as well as a four- way stratification of gender, age (4-categories), race (4-categories), and education (4-categories), to produce the final weight.

RACIAL ATTITUDES (% AGREE)

 

 

White people in the U.S. have certain advantages because of the color of their skin.

Racial problems in the U.S. are rare, isolated situations.

I am angry that racism exists.

The United States has never been a racist country.

The main cause of the Civil War was the conflict over states’ rights.

ANTI-SEMITISM (% AGREE)

 

 

Jews have too much power in the business world.

Jews are more loyal to Israel than to America.

It is appropriate for opponents

of Israel’s policies and

actions to boycott

Jewish American owned businesses in their communities.

GREAT REPLACEMENT

 

 

The growth in the number of immigrants in the country means that America is in danger of losing its culture and identity.

   

Some elected officials want to increase

immigration

in order to

bring in obedient voters who

will vote for them.

   

The growth in the size of minority communities

in the country

will NOT result in the declining influence of

white Americans

   

Racial and ethnic

diversity

tends to

strengthen the

character of

a nation.

January 2024 National Poll – All Toplines

Toplines

University of Massachusetts Amherst

January 2024 National Poll

 

Field Dates:

January 25, 2024  –  January 30, 2024

Sample:

1064 Respondents

Margin of Error:

3.7%  

YouGov interviewed 1064 respondents, none of whom were matched out to produce the final dataset. The unmatched cases were weighted to a sampling frame using propensity scores. The sampling frame is a politically representative "modeled frame" of US adults, based upon the American Community Survey (ACS) public use microdata file, public

voter file records, the 2020 Current Population Survey (CPS) Voting and Registration supplements, the 2020 National Election Pool (NEP) exit poll, and the 2020 CES surveys, including demographics and 2020 presidential vote.

 

The unmatched cases and the frame were combined, and a logistic regression was estimated for inclusion in the frame. The propensity score function included age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, region, and home ownership status. The propensity scores were grouped into deciles of the estimated propensity score in the frame, and then post-stratified according to these deciles. The weights were then post-stratified on 2020 presidential vote choice, as well as a four-way stratification of gender, age (4-categories), race (4-categories), and education (4-categories), to produce the final weight.

“I don't fear Joe Biden's Presidency. He is a man with integrity, knowledge, experience, impressive intellect, albeit with some senior moments. He has accomplished a lot during his Presidency. He is a man of the people, all, not just an elite few.”

Fear 6: Resistance from Powerful Actors in Society (Neither party more likely to mention)

“The greatest risk of Trump being in office is that the other powers in our social system (media, bureaucracy, business) do not accept him, and therefore conflict between those powers is inevitable.

“He has threatened to be a dictator and the Republican party will just let him, dooming this country.”

He fulfilled many of the things he promised during his last term. I believe he will again lift the economy for the middle class and close our borders. These are my two major concerns for the 2024 election.

All the damage done by the Biden/Obama presidency is quickly undone. The Founding Father’s Constitution for our country is restored and clarified as the law of the land. ALL illegal aliens are immediately rounded up and deported. Election manipulators and corrupt politicians are rounded up and punished accordingly.

 

Hope 6: Trump Dies, is Incapacitated, or Forced to Leave Office (Democrats more likely to mention)

That he'll never make it to the White House, even it means him going to prison, dying or suffering a massive heart attack or stroke.

 

Hope 7: Checks and Balances (Neither party more likely to mention)

Supreme Court rules against him on any of the appeals he & his attorneys request.

           

Hope 8: Hope that Trump Doesn’t Destroy American Democracy (Democrats more likely to mention)

That he doesn’t destroy democracy and teach and allow others to act like him. That it goes as fast as possible without much damage.

Refugee Support (N=1,064)

After reading the following preamble, respondents were randomly assigned to only 1 of the 4 following questions.

As you may know, refugees fleeing conflict-ridden parts of the world can be resettled in the United States to begin a new life. Refugees are often resettled in small groups together so that they have a support network. All refugees who are resettled in the United States are subject to screening to make sure they do not pose a security or a health threat.  Now, imagine that your community has been selected as a place for refugees from (insert nation-state here) to be resettled.
