About the Study

Research Methodology — The results presented in this summary report are from an Ipsos survey conducted from September 26 to September 28, 2018. A total sample of 1,250 respondents from the province participated in the survey. Of the total, 850 interviews were completed via Internet panel and 400 others were completed by telephone. Approximately 40% of telephone interviews were completed with respondents using a cellular phone, while 60% were completed with respondents using a landline. Weighting was applied to the total sample by age, gender, region, education level, and first language, in order to ensure that the composition of the final sample is representative of Quebec’s adult population according to the latest census data from Statistics Canada. The combination of these two interview methods minimizes the risk of sample bias from using a single method of sample collection. Ipsos developed this approach based on past experience of political surveys in Canada and of more than 450 elections worldwide over the past 20 years.

Since the online portion of the sample is not considered to be probabilistic, Ipsos cannot apply a margin of error to this survey. The precision of non-probabilistic Ipsos surveys is measured using a credibility interval. The credibility interval for a survey of 1,250 respondents is of ±3.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population.
