Among the entire sample, 27% described themselves as Democrats, 23% described themselves as Republicans, and 50% described themselves as independents or members of another party. All respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, and telephone usage. Crosstabs on the following pages only include results for subgroups with enough unweighted cases to produce a sampling error of +/- 8.5 percentage points or less. Some subgroups represent too small a share of the national population to produce crosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. Interviews were conducted among these subgroups, but results for groups with a sampling error larger than +/-8.5 percentage points are not displayed and instead are denoted with "N/A". 3 CNN/ORC International Poll ­­ August 13 to 16, 2015 Question 14 Do you think abortion should be legal under any circumstances, legal under only certain circumstances, or illegal in all circumstances?
