The survey question was phrased by the source as follows: "For each of the following types of people, please tell me whether you would like having people from this group as neighbors, dislike it, or not care: Homosexuals? (% who say 鈥渨ould strongly like鈥, 鈥渨ould somewhat like,鈥 or 鈥渨ould not care鈥)".
Figures, therefore, represent the share of respondents who consider that they 鈥渨ould strongly like", 鈥渨ould somewhat like,鈥 or 鈥渨ould not care鈥 to have a homosexual as their neighbor.
The source does not specify the methodology.
