Canadian Gallup Poll, March 1983, #471_4

This Gallup poll seeks the opinions of Canadians, on both political and social issues. The questions ask opinions about the preferred Progressive Conservative leader and other political issues within the country and abroad; including nuclear war. There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the government such as interracial marriages; opportunities for women and child care. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographical variables. Topics of interest include: allowing inmates to get a university education; the approval of inter-racial marriage; the approval of marriage between Catholics and Protestants; the approval of marriage between Jews and Non-Jews; the chances of a third world war due to hostilities between the U.S. and Russia; the chances of women becoming executives; the country that is most likely to start a nuclear war; the credibility of Ronald Reagan's goal to limit nuclear weapons; the credibility of Yuri Andropov's goal to limit nuclear weapons; the future of development in Canada; government spending on child care; government support of companies in crisis; opportunities provided to women; the preferred leader of the Progressive Conservative (PC) party; preferred type of employer; raising funds to pay off the deficit; and women running businesses.
