This poll, fielded in June 2013, is a part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicits public opinion on a range of political and social issues. Opinions were gathered about the likelihood of a terrorist attack in the United States in the coming months. Respondents were also asked if the government is infringing on privacy, if they are worried about losing their own privacy, and if they approve of government collection of phone and Internet records in the name of reducing terrorism. There are also a series of questions regarding cellular and landline telephone use. Demographic information includes age, race, ethnicity, marital status, education level, household income, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), voter registration status, political party affiliation, political philosophy, and Tea Party affiliation.

Weight View help for Weight
The data contain a weight variable (WEIGHT) that should be used in analyzing the data. According to the CBS News Web site, the data were weighted to match the United States Census Bureau breakdowns on age, sex, race, education, and region of the country. The data were also adjusted for the fact that people who share a telephone with others have less chance to be contacted than people who live alone and have their own telephones, and that households with more than one telephone number have more chances to be called than households with only one telephone number.
