the survey
The people surveyed were selected from the total based on a stratified, probabilistic, multi-stage sample of households, which uses sex and age quotas for the final choice of the interviewee.
The maximum expected margin of error for the estimates is +- 3.7%, within a 95% confidence interval.
The question applied was: “Now I am going to name some public figures, and I am going to ask you to tell me, first of all, if you know them or not, and if you know your sympathy towards them. On a scale that goes from 0 to 10. If you feel a lot of sympathy you can give a 10, if on the contrary you do not have any sympathy you can give a 0. Thus 5 will be neither sympathy nor antipathy, and of course you can also give intermediate values depending on whether you have more or less sympathy “.
The pollster clarifies that the consultation is financed by multiple clients: the media, social organizations, private companies, international organizations and political parties, among others.
