From August 14 through September 22, 2024, Adrian Pietrzak (PhD Candidate, Princeton University) conducted a survey of 1,733 registered voters in New York City.[1] The survey included an experimental manipulation, and these survey toplines report just those in the control group (N=861). Where applicable, respondents were shown a color-coded map highlighting the parts of the city affected by each policy proposal. (See Appendix). Respondents were recruited via email, with email addresses obtained from the New York City Voter File, provided by the New York City Board of Elections in a Freedom of Information Law request. Respondents with email addresses were selected randomly using block randomization at the Community Board level. The sample was weighted to be representative of known values of registered voters: age, gender, borough, and party registration. The margin of error associated with the sample size is +/- 3 percentage points. Results for subgroups have increased margins of error and should be interpreted with caution. N represents the unweighted N.
[1] The study was approved by the Princeton University Institutional Review Board, Protocol No. 17085. The survey was not commissioned by any external party or organization and was conducted as independent academic research as part of a broader research study (ongoing). The survey was funded by the Princeton University Department of Politics and administered via the Princeton University Survey Research Center over Qualtrics.
