Notes and Pointed Perspectives...

Methodology...

These are some of the topline findings of a DART Insight poll conducted June 8-13, 2018 as part of a regular quarterly sounding of Canadians on various issues and matters that affect their lives as citizens, consumers, and voters. The research is created and analyzed under the direction of veteran pollster John Wright, CEO of DART Insight which is a division of DART Insight and Communications Limited in partnership with Canada's national survey sample research provider Maru/Blue that curates a vast Online Panel and provides data collection services.

The survey was conducted among 5,357 randomly selected Canadian adults who are members of Maru/Blue Online panel between June 8 and 13, 2018. The results have been weighted by education, age, gender, and region (and in Quebec, language) to match the population, according to Census data. This is to ensure the sample is representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The precision of this DART Insight Online poll is measured using a Bayesian Credibility Interval.  In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/ - 3.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadian adults been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. Minor discrepancies in the data may occur due to rounding.
