National Post-Election Health Care Survey – Full Report

Abstract

The Center to Champion Nursing in America, a joint initiative of AARP, the AARP Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, commissioned American Viewpoint to conduct a national survey on questions relating to the importance of nursing to health reform initiatives. Three questions were asked on a national omnibus survey conducted immediately after the 2008 presidential election. Telephone interviewing with a random sample of 1,003 adults nationwide was conducted from November 5-9, 2008. Of the total sample, 775 respondents voted in the election.

All surveys are subject to error caused by interviewing a sample rather than the entire population. The margin of error for a random sample of n=1,003 is ± 3.2 percentage
points at 95% confidence. The margin of error for a random sample of n=775 is ± 3.6%.

The project director for this survey was Gary Ferguson, Senior Vice President of American Viewpoint.
