1 USA TODAY/NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR FINANCIAL EDUCATION YOUNG ADULTS FINANCES POLL -- FINAL TOPLINE -- Timberline: R: 691 Princeton Job #: Jeff Jones, Frank Newport October 26-vember 14, 2006 Results are based on telephone interviews conducted October 26-vember 14, 2006, with a random sample of 901 U.S. adults between the ages of 22 and 29. The sample consists of 690 respondents who had participated in earlier national Gallup polls and agree to be re-interviewed for a future poll, and 211 respondents who were randomly selected from a national sample of cell phone numbers. The sample is weighted by demographic information so that it is representative of year olds nationwide. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
