Marcus DiPaola/Verasight Survey

logo

March 21 - March 23, 2022

Sample: 969 U.S. Likely Voters

1 Survey Details

The Marcus DiPaola/Verasight Survey was fielded from March 21-23, 2022 with a sample size of 969 likely voters. Respondents were recruited from an existing Verasight panel, composed of individuals recruited via both address-based probability sampling and online advertisements.

The data are weighted to match the Current Population Survey on age, race/ethnicity, sex, income, education, region, and metropolitan status, as well as to population benchmarks of partisanship and 2020 presidential vote. The margin of error, which incorporates the design effect due to weighting, is +/- 3.9%.

To ensure data quality, the Verasight data team implemented a number of quality assurance procedures. This process included screening out responses corresponding to foreign IP addresses, potential duplicate respondents, potential non-human responses, and respondents failing attention and straight-lining checks.
