1 PEW RESEARCH CENTER 2024 PEW RESEARCH CENTER’S AMERICAN TRENDS PANEL WAVE 159 POLITICS SURVEY NOVEMBER 2024 FINAL TOPLINE NOVEMBER 12-17, 2024 N=9,609 Note: This survey was conducted primarily online, with some interviews conducted by live telephone. This topline shows the programming language for online administration. For details on how questions were slightly modified for phone administration, visit the questionnaire. American Trends Panel surveys conducted between October 2016 and June 2024 were conducted fully online (with tablets and data plans provided to adults without home internet). American Trends Panel surveys conducted prior to October 2016 were conducted primarily online, with some respondents completing by mail. For additional details, refer to the methodology.

“No answer” includes web respondents who do not answer the question as well as telephone respondents who refuse to answer or who say that they don’t know how to answer. In cases where “not sure” was offered as an explicit option to web and telephone respondents, the “no answer” category includes only web skips and telephone refusals. In addition to the parameters used in weighting each wave of the American Trends Panel, the results of this survey were weighted to the 2024 presidential popular vote and turnout among the voting-eligible population (as of Nov. 18, 2024). For additional information, refer to the methodology. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS PREVIOUSLY RELEASED ASK ALL CITIZENS (XCITIZEN=1) [N=9,302]: VOTED Which of the following statements best describes you?
