Ipsos International Immigration, Refugee & Brexit Poll

Housing affordability, cost of living & poverty concern the most NZers, but age & political views influence people’s concerns

The subjects of the survey concerned two currently controversial subjects:

  1. The issues of immigration and refugees.
  2. The recent ‘Brexit’ vote and anticipated consequences.
This report presents the results of two international surveys conducted by Ipsos over June-August 2016:
Immigration & Refugees Survey: 16,545 adults aged 16-64 interviewed across adults in New Zealand, Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States.
Brexit Consequences Survey: 13,030 interviews were conducted across adults in New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United States of America.
The New Zealand data was collected via one single survey of 505 adults. Some questions were omitted and some added, to ensure better suitability for the New Zealand context.
