Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine
June 13-23, 2019
*A corrected version of this poll was uploaded to iri.org on July 10, 2019 to address minor inaccuracies contained in the version published on July 9, 2019. Methodology • The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research. • The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied Crimea and certain areas of Donbas) on June 13-23, 2019 through face-to-face interviews at respondents’ homes • •The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. The distribution of population by regions and settlements is based on statistical data of the Central Election Commission from the 2019 presidential elections, and the distribution of population by age and gender is based on data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine from January 1, 2018. • A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and “last birthday” methods for respondent selection. • Stage One: the territory of Ukraine was split into 25 administrative regions (24 regions and Kyiv). The survey was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, except for the occupied Crimea and certain areas of the Donbas. • Stage Two: the territory of each region was split into village and city units. Settlements were split into types by the number of residents:
• Cities with population over 1 million • Cities with population 500,000-999,000 • Cities with population 100,000-499,000 • Cities with population 50,000-99,000 • Cities with population up to 50,000 • Urban villages • Villages • Cities and villages were selected using the PPS method (probability proportional to size). The number of selected cities/villages in each of the regions is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each region. • Stage Three: households were selected using random route, respondents - “last birthday” rule. • The margin of error does not exceed 2.0 percent for the full sample. • The average response rate was 61.8 percent. • Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. • The survey was financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). • Considering the distribution of political party preferences, only the top six parties are represented. The number of the respondents who voted for other parties is not sufficient for reliable analysis. 2 Geographical Key
*Due to the Russian occupation of Crimea and ongoing conflict in the East of Ukraine, citizens of Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts controlled by the separatists did not participate in the survey. 3 Frequently Cited Disaggregates Disaggregate Disaggregation Category Base
