Canadian Gallup Poll, June 1981, #450_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on predominantly social issues. The questions ask opinions about the influence of television; rising prices and the use of cigarettes. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the chances of an energy shortage and teen drinking. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic and political variables. Topics of interest include: Canada's energy crisis; the chance of an energy shortage in the future; creating smoking areas in restaurants; father as top boss of family; how the government is handling the economy; the influence of television; the minimum amount of income a family needs; rising prices; smoking cigarettes; the successfulness of controlling inflation; teen drinking in the community; and unmarried couples living together. Basic demographic variables are also included.
