Canadian Gallup Poll, March 1980, #436a

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about political campaigns and other political issues within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the treatment of criminals by the courts, mandatory military service and the use of alcoholic beverages. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: allowing pre-martial sex; who has the best political campaign; the effects of regional differences on Confederation; how courts deal with criminals; mandatory military service for men and women; the minimum amount of income a family needs in a week; the most important reason for voting; opinions about allowing illegal immigrants to stay in Canada; problems in the home caused by liquor; the Queen stepping down at 60; and the use of alcoholic beverages. Basic demographic variables are also included.
