Verification note. Percentages read from the June 2015 trend column of NBC's own August 2021 topline (Hart/POS Study #210188, Q15). Field dates and sample size taken from PollingReport's entry for the NBC/WSJ June 14-18, 2015 poll. The original June 2015 topline PDF for this item was not retrieved, so this record is assembled from the pollster's own trend table rather than the original release.
Figures below are transcribed from these documents. Where they disagree with the source, the source governs.

neutral — Both directional statements are offered and rotated, and a middle 'reasonable balance' option is read; the definitional gloss is descriptive rather than evaluative.
