Here is the report's page about methodologies. Excerpt:
Data in this report is drawn from the panel wave conducted Sept. 13-18, 2022. A total of 10,588 panelists responded out of 11,687 who were sampled, for a response rate of 91%. The cumulative response rate accounting for nonresponse to the recruitment surveys and attrition is 3%. The break-off rate among panelists who logged on to the survey and completed at least one item is 1%. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 10,588 respondents is plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.
Thanks. I know the figures are there, they just tend to put them in appendices or buried in the methodology section. It's easy to find the sampling error for the whole group, but it can be a lot bigger for subsamples like mormons (depends on whether the subgroup was oversampled to reduce the error)

My brain is having trouble with the graphic for some reason.
So, Jews, Atheists, and Muslims are the only groups (of those listed) where knowing a person in that group results in a reduction in unfavorable opinion of the group? Or am I confusing it?
Every group except for Mormons had higher net favorability if respondents knew someone from it.
It looks like a lot of people in this poll have met Louis C. Midgley, William Schryver or DCP.
Don’t forget about Mike Parker!

This belongs unironically in DCP’s Hitchens file.
I'm afraid not. That file is only for witty responses to 20-year-old statements made by a guy who was never regarded as influential on atheist philosophy.
Thanks for posting this. I always love looking at Pew Research when they talk about Mormonism. I agree with Nimrod's assessment. The people I come in contact with tend to have a terribly negative view of atheists. Atheists and Muslims are the two groups I find myself defending in conversations with people, usually because the attitudes toward them are way off.
The attitude I sense from random people toward Latter-day Saints would be best described as, "Mostly harmless."
