Information for Questions 26 -29: The General Social Survey is an ongoing nationwide survey done by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. One question asks whether a respondent favors or opposes capital punishment (death penalty) for persons convicted of murder. In the year 2000 24% of the respondents said they were opposed to the death penalty for convicted murders. Let's assume that this is a good representation of how the U.S. population felt back in the year 2000. In a recent study (2019) 701 of the 2565 respondents said that they were opposed to the death penalty for convicted murders
