September 18, 2024: Fifty-nine percent (59%) of voters believe that if the Constitution were to be amended, those amendments should place further restrictions on the federal government. A Napolitan News Service national survey conducted by RMG Research found that just 20% say more power should be given to the federal government.

The survey also found that, by a 49% to 38% margin, voters do not believe that the Constitution is a major source of the problems facing the United States today.

Methodology

The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on August 26-27, 2024. Fieldwork for the survey was conducted by RMG Research, Inc. Certain quotas were applied, and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education, internet usage, and political party to reasonably reflect the nation's population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final sample is representative of that population. The margin of sampling error for the full sample is +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Note: Scott Rasmussen is the president of RMG Research, Inc. He hosts "The Scott Rasmussen Show" on Merit Street Media Sunday mornings at 10 Eastern.
