For results based adult internet users (n=972), the margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sample for the surveys is a random digit sample of telephone numbers selected from telephone exchanges in the continental United States. The random digit aspect of the sample is used to avoid \u201clisting\u201d bias and provides representation of both listed and unlisted numbers (including not-yet-listed numbers). The design of the sample achieves this representation by random generation of the last two digits of telephone numbers selected on the basis of their area code, telephone exchange, and bank number.
