20 Preference in Election Rules

Currently, members of the US House of Representatives are elected from individual districts and the candidate with the most votes in any single district wins election. This system is often called “First Past the Post”. Would you support a proposal to change this system to a system (often called “Proportional Representation”) where the make up of the House is decided solely on the basis of each party’s national share of the vote, without individual districts? (For example, if any party got 45% of the votes nationwide, they would get 45% of the seats in Congress.) (N = 1,000)

23 Reparation Preferences

Reparations for slavery are intended to address the impact of its injustice, and subsequent racial and economic discrimination on living African-Americans. In 2021, Evanston, IL became the first to make reparations, giving $400k to eligible households. More places are considering proposals. Reparations can be apologies, programs to educate people about the history of slavery, direct payments, free tuition, or investments in affordable housing, Black-owned businesses and communities. One debate is whether Black immigrants should receive reparations. 10% (4 million) of 40 million Black Americans are immigrants. Including Black immigrants could mean that reparations cost more or that descendants of slaves receive less. Should reparations be limited to people who trace their ancestry back to American slavery, or should they include Black immigrants? (N = 1,000)
Response Percent
All Black Americans, including immigrants 15%
Limited to descendants of slaves, not including Black immigrants 20%

25 LGBTQ Immigration Scenario

Omar is hoping to immigrate to the U.S. He is gay and feels that he cannot fully live his authentic life without migrating. His lives in a conservative country where gay people do not have many rights, though he does not feel he is at risk of violence. On a scale of 1 to 5, do you personally think that Omar deserves to be granted admission to come settle in the U.S.? A rating of 1 means that Omar definitely does not deserve to be admitted, while a rating of 5 means the U.S. should definitely admit him. (N = 1,000)

40 Survey Details

Verasight collected data for this survey from July 25 - July 29, 2024. All questions were submitted by attendees of the 2024 PolMeth conference. The sample consists of 1,000 United States adults. The sampling criteria for this survey were:
1. U.S. adult (age 18+)

The selection criteria for the final sample were:
1. Passed all data quality assurance checks, outlined below

The data are weighted to match the June 2024 Current Population Survey on age, race/ethnicity, sex, income, education, region, and metropolitan status, as well as to a running three-year average of partisanship distributions from the Pew Research Center NPORS benchmarking surveys and population benchmarks of 2020 presidential vote. The margin of sampling error, which accounts for the design effect and is calculated using the classical random sampling formula, is +/- 3.5%.

All respondents were recruited from the Verasight Community, which is composed of individuals recruited via random address-based sampling, random person-to-person text messaging, and dynamic online targeting. All Verasight community members are verified via multi-step authentication, including providing an SMS response from a mobile phone registered with a major U.S. carrier (e.g., no VOIP or internet phones) as well as within-survey technology, including verifying the absence of non-human responses with technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA v3. Those who exhibit low-quality response behaviors over time, such as straight-lining or speeding, are also removed and prohibited from further participation in the community. Verasight Community members receive points for taking surveys that can be redeemed for Venmo or PayPal payments, gift cards, or charitable donations. Respondents are never routed from one survey to another and receive compensation for every invited survey, so there is never an incentive to respond strategically to survey qualification screener questions.
To further ensure data quality, the Verasight data team implements a number of post-data collection quality assurance procedures, including confirming that all responses correspond with U.S. IP addresses, confirming no duplicate respondents, verifying the absence of non-human responses, and removing any respondents who failed in-survey attention, speeding, and/or straight-lining checks. Respondents who completed the survey in less than 30% of the median response time were removed.

Unmeasured error in this or any other survey may exist. Verasight is a member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research Transparency Initiative.
