Federal Politics – March 4th, 2020

4 March 2020

SURVEY METHODOLOGY: FEDERAL POLITICS REPORT

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

Conducted from February 28th to March 2nd, 2020 among 1,540 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, who have the right to vote in Canada, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue, region and level of education 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 1,540 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.50%, 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.
