    Maybe the survey is from a poor sour-

    PRRI survey

    Maybe it’s a small samp-

    The survey was conducted among a representative sample of 5,027 adults (age 18 and up) living in all 50 states in the United States, who are part of Ipsos’s KnowledgePanel and an additional 325 who were recruited by Ipsos using opt-in survey panels to increase the sample sizes in smaller states. Interviews were conducted online between August 16 and September 4, 2024

      5000 is honestly a pretty small sample size of such a populous country, and this whole report is about Religion and its affects in politics, which explains why the religious breakdown focus is so stand-out bizarre. I see even in the full report absolutely no methodological breakdown for things like income, urban/suburban/rural, by design excludes all of the most marginalized including lumpen and homeless and those without USPS access database records and those without internet to do their survey, (and those who wouldn’t be arsed for this kind of stuff) etc. it also barely has anyone in the 18-29 age group, and even in the full report (and so the article) specifically doesn’t mention generation breakdowns when talking about the immigration questions, even though it breaks down the generation percentages in (some) of the other sections, like regarding Israel/Palestine. Honestly there’s a lot that pisses me off about this “study” and report. Whole thing looks ASS and is so obtuse about its framings, specifically trying to illustrate “christian nationalism” and its effects on politics. The longer report is barely even clearer on some of the critical breakdowns of age, etc. and the selection is just emailing people in USPS samples along their weird focus and also getting hundreds of self-selected opt-ins. And the religious focus is just. weird. as. hell.
