How were these policies selected? The policies are based on questions asked on nationally representative YouGov polls between 2020 and 2022. Some polls were conducted in partnership with news organizations, such as the Economist and Yahoo News, while others were conducted internally by YouGov’s U.S. News team. There is some variation in each poll's sample and methodology; for instance, some polls are restricted to U.S. adult citizens while others are representative of all U.S. adults. Questions were asked in a variety of formats and included a variety of response options, though all included a neutral option of "not sure" or "don't know."
