Canadian Gallup Poll, May 1984, #485_1

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about the preferred Federal Liberal leader and the Liberal government leadership convention 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 the chances of nuclear war, the impact of organized religion and unemployment. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: attending church; belief in god; belief in the afterlife; chances of a nuclear war; encouraging foreign investment; expanding social welfare programs; the Federal Liberal government leadership convention; the ideal number of kids to have; the impact of organized religion on everyday life; the importance of religious beliefs; the likelihood of surviving a nuclear war; living conditions today; the minimum income a family of four needs; moving towards socialism; the preferred Federal Liberal leader; reducing spending or stopping unemployment and supporting the elected Federal Liberal leader. Basic demographic variables are also included.
