Federal Politics – February 1st, 2020

February 3, 2020

SURVEY METHODOLOGY: FEDERAL POLITICS REPORT

Web survey using computer-assisted Web interviewing (CAWI) technology.

Conducted from January 29th to January 30th, 2020 among 1,501 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population.

No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (Web panel in this case). However for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,501 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.53%, 19 times out of 20.

The research results presented here are in full compliance with the CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards and Disclosure Requirements.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS THE RESULTS FOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND MORE. DOWNLOAD THE REPORT BELOW FOR THE FULL RESULTS.
