For results based on the full sample in a given country, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling and other random effects is plus or minus the margin of error. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2013\/05\/02\/malaysia-topline-questionnaire-and-survey-methods\/maslaysia-methods-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeeeee\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeeeee;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"195\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2013\/05\/Maslaysia-methods.png?resize=480,156 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2013\/05\/Maslaysia-methods.png?resize=600,195 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2013\/05\/Maslaysia-methods.png?w=600\" alt=\"Maslaysia methods\" class=\"wp-image-41958 not-transparent\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Survey Topline \u2022 Survey results are based on national samples. \u2022 Due to rounding, percentages may not total 100%.
