Commissioned by: The Economist
Fielded: Nov 6–7, 2024
Population: registered voters
Sample size: 1,590
Sample frame: online opt-in
Panel: YouGov Panel
Mode: Web-based interviews; respondents selected from YouGov's opt-in panel to be representative of adult U.S. citizens
Margin of error: ±2.8% (adjusted for weighting)
Weighting: The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2024 presidential vote, 2020 election turnout and presidential vote, and baseline party identification. Demographic weighting targets come from the 2019 American Community Survey. 2024 presidential vote, at time of weighting was estimated to be 48% Harris and 50% Trump.

The weights range from 0.13 to 6.264, with a mean of one and a standard deviation of 0.564.
