Canadian Gallup Poll, June 1984, #486_4

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about who would make the best Prime Minister, as well as other political issues within the country. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as business conditions, the strength of labour unions and the Olympic games. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: the amount of U.S. investment in Canada; the Best Prime Minister for Canada; the biggest threat to Canada in the future; chances of a nuclear war; differences in political parties; the effects of labour unions in Canada; gaining control over major U.S. firms; the interest in the Olympic games without the USSR; picking a permanent Olympic site; putting a freeze on nuclear weapon development; ratings of business conditions in the community; satisfaction with the direction of the country; the spouse that gains the most from marriage; and the strength of labour unions. Basic demographic variables are also included.
