Soccer & TurbansAssociation for Canadian Studies Poll

June 14th, 2013

2This poll was conducted online in all regions of Canada with a representative sample of 1,503 Canadians, between June 10th and June 12th, 2013.

Final data were weighted by age, gender, language, level of education and household composition (with or without children under the age of 18) in order to obtain a representative sample of the Canadian population.

A probabilistic sample of 1,503 respondents would yield a margin of error of 2,5%, 19 times out of 20.

Survey respondents were selected randomly from the LegerWeb Internet panel, which is comprised of over 400,000 Canadian households. A stratification process was applied to invitation lists to ensure optimal representation of respondents. Panelists were recruited randomly during Leger Marketing telephone surveys. Several quality control measures ensure the representativeness and accuracy of Leger Marketings surveys with its panel members.

In the tables, numbers in bold red indicate a significantly higher proportion than that of other groups. Numbers in bold blue indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other groups.
