August 16, 2023: Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters favor putting video cameras in public school classrooms to ensure student and teacher accountability. A Scott Rasmussen National Survey found that just 29% oppose cameras.
The survey also found that 56% favor allowing parents with children in public schools to watch livestreams of their children's classrooms. Just 33% are opposed.
Methodology
The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted online by Scott Rasmussen on August 2-3, 2023. Field work 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: Neither Scott Rasmussen, ScottRasmussen.com, nor RMG Research, Inc. have any affiliation with Rasmussen Reports. While Scott Rasmussen founded that firm, he left nearly a decade ago and has had no involvement since that time.
