XII. Demographics

Note: As shown, some questions were asked only of subsets of respondents (e.g., people who said they had decided how they would vote). Unless otherwise indicated, the tables reflect percentages of the subset that was asked the question, not percentages of the overall population. An asterisk (*) indicates a response of less than 1 percent. A cross indicates a volunteered response.

Now we have just a few more questions to help classify your answers.
