Post Election Survey: When Did You Make Up Your Mind?
Q When did you decide which party to vote for? Was it before the campaign began, in the first week of the campaign, around the middle of the campaign, within the last week, or within the last 24 hours?
- MORI interviewed 1,877 British adults aged 18+
- Interviews were conducted using MORI's MFS Omnibus and were face-to-face, in-home
- Fieldwork was 14-19 June 2001
- Results are based on all respondents unless otherwise stated
- Data are weighted to the known population profile
- An '*' indicates a finding of less than 0.5%, but greater than zero
- Where percentages do not add up to exactly 100% this may be due to computer rounding, the exclusion of "don't knows" or to multiple answers
