Survey Methodology:
The JNN survey uses a random digit dialing (RDD) method, calling both landlines and mobile phones. Conducted on July 5 and 6, the survey targeted 2,330 adults aged 18 and over nationwide (859 landline, 1,471 mobile), yielding 1,010 valid responses (491 landline, 519 mobile). This method avoids the bias often seen in internet surveys, where respondents are typically more interested in the topic. Instead of automated responses, JNN employs interviewers who directly speak to participants, ensuring a more representative demographic sample.
