The Marketing Research and Intelligence Association policy limits statements about margins of sampling error for most online surveys. The margin of error for a comparable probability-based random sample of the same size is +/- 2., 19 times out of 20. For the sample it is +/- 4., 19 times out of 20 The data were weighted according to census data to ensure that the sample matched /'s population according to age, gender, educational attainment, and region. Totals may not add up to 100 due to rounding.
