How to read these questions
- rating: Report the mean and the top-two-box share (the two highest points). Top-two-box is easier to explain and less sensitive to a few extreme answers.
- multi choice: Percentages add up to more than 100% because people can pick several. Compare options by share of respondents, not share of picks.
