HOW THE POLL WAS CONDUCTED AND THE
MARGIN OF ERROR CALCULATED
The CBS News survey of 2,382 adults in the U.S. was conducted by YouGov between March
10-13, 2021.
This sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, and education based on voter registra-
tion lists, the U.S. Census American Community Survey, and the U.S. Census Current Population
Survey, as well as 2020 Presidential vote. Respondents were selected to be representative of
adults nationwide. The weights range from 0.1 to 3.3, with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation
of 0.4.
The margin of error (a 95% confidence interval) for a sample percentage p based upon the entire
sample is approximately 2.2%. It is calculated using the formula
s
1 + CV2
p̂ ± 100 ×
n
where CV is the coefficient of variation of the sample weights and n is the sample size used
to compute the proportion. This is a measure of sampling error (the average of all estimates
obtained using the same sample selection and weighting procedures repeatedly). The sample
estimate should differ from its expected value by less than margin of error in 95 percent of
all samples. It does not reflect non-sampling errors, including potential selection bias in panel
participation or in response to a particular survey.
