How the AP-NORC poll on national priorities was conducted

The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll on the nation's priorities was conducted by NORC from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. It is based on online and telephone interviews of 1,444 adults who are members of NORC's nationally representative AmeriSpeak panel.

The original sample was drawn from respondents selected randomly from NORC's National Frame based on address-based sampling and recruited by mail, email, telephone and face-to-face interviews.

NORC interviews participants over the phone if they don't have internet access. With a probability basis and coverage of people who can't access the internet, surveys using AmeriSpeak are nationally representative.

Interviews were conducted in English.
