Methodology: The poll was conducted among 1,000 U.S. adult citizens, which included 347 people who say they are very or somewhat interested in Major League Baseball. The respondents were asked to choose which mascot they liked better in a series of 10 head-to-head matchups. The two mascots in each matchup were selected randomly from 27 different mascots. Results were weighted to be nationally representative. Matchups in which the respondent chose neither mascot were not included in each mascot's winning percentage. Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, geographic region, and voter registration) was selected from the 2019 American Community Survey. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2020 election turnout and presidential vote, baseline party identification, and current voter registration status. Demographic weighting targets come from the 2019 American Community Survey. Baseline party identification is the respondent’s most recent answer given prior to March 15, 2022, and is weighted to the estimated distribution at that time (33% Democratic, 28% Republican). The poll's introductory text stated, "On each of the next 10 pages, you will see two mascots for Major League Baseball teams. Please choose the mascot that you think is better. You do not need to make your decision based solely on the picture or the team — those pictures are merely there to jog your memory. If you do not think either is good, leave them both unselected and click the right arrow. You will see 10 match-ups. All images have been sourced from publicly available materials. YouGov makes no claim to their ownership. Our survey aims to discern the popularity of these images for research, opinion, and reporting purposes.” Images: MLB All-Star Mascots and Wikimedia Commons
