For the New Retirement Survey, "Harris Interactive® fielded the online and telephone survey between February 5 and March 1, 2004, among a nationwide cross section of 2,348 U.S. adults ages 40 to 58 of whom 1,061 were men and 1,287 were women. Data were weighted to reflect the total U.S. adult population ages 40 to 58 for age, sex, race, region, education and household income. For the telephone survey, data were weighted for the number of voice/telephone lines in the household. For the online survey, propensity score weighting was done to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online."
