YouGov/HuffPost Infidelity Poll Results

The HuffPost/YouGov poll was conducted Nov. 29-30 among 1,000 U.S. adults. It has a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points, though that variation does not take into account other potential sources of error including statistical bias in the sample. It used a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. Factors considered include age, race, gender, education, employment, income, marital status, number of children, voter registration, time and location of Internet access, interest in politics, religion and church.
