About The XandY Poll

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The design, content, analysis, and reporting of this survey were produced by Matthew Goldberg, Abel Gustafson, Carly Wolfer, and Kyle Gustafson of XandY. The full text of all survey questions and the response options are provided in the full report document. The survey was administered in the Alchemer online survey environment.

Data collection was conducted by XandY from April 24-25, 2025 using online recruitment methods to sample adult residents of the United States (N = 1,467). This survey used a nested quota sampling strategy to match U.S. Census proportions of age, income, race and ethnicity, geographic region, gender, and political party affiliation. To further ensure the insights reported from this sample closely resemble the U.S. population, the sample was weighted to match U.S. Census benchmarks.

MARGIN OF ERROR

Proportion statistics regarding the full national sample have an average margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error in subgroups is determined by the subgroup size.
