Please note that the first and fifth questions asked in the PortraitofAmerica.com survey were slightly different than those now being asked in the on-line version of the World's Shortest Education Survey. We believe the shorter questions in the on-line survey would not have made a substantial difference in the outcome of the PortraitofAmerica.com survey. The survey of 1202 adults in which the questions were asked was conducted on May 13; 15-16, 2001. Totals may not equal 100% due to non-responses. | |||
