December 15, 2022: Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters discussed politics at a recent family gathering. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that this was down from 58% in the days immediately following the midterm elections.
The survey also found that the most common topic of conversation was inflation and the economy (28%). Unsurprisingly, right after the midterms, election results had been the most popular topic of conversation (21%)
Methodology
The survey of 1,200 Registered Voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on November 29-30, 2022. 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 +/- 2.8 percentage points.
