Description
|
The Ipsos Canada’s Pulse series offer a sampling of public opinion at the municipal level in Canada’s largest urban centres. These surveys, commissioned on behalf of Global Television, query respondents on national as well as local issues and concerns. Respondents from each city within the survey are asked to answer questions particular to their municipality and province. The survey therefore reveals local and timely data on topics such as municipal and community leadership, commuting and traffic, elections, taxation, the economy, and culture. The 2010 Canada's Pulse poll is accompanied by a series city-specific reports for further analysis. This survey has a sample of 6883 Respondents. (2017-01-31)

Notes
| "Changes in methodology between 2009 and 2010 means that researchers should use caution when drawing comparisons at the national level: The 2009 "National" figures were an aggregate of all of the cities/regions combined and was therefore best described as a sample of urban Canadians. The 2010 [and 2011] "National" figures are a truer reflection of a national sample (including rural Canadians). Thus, tracking comparisons on a national level should be used with caution. For example, while concern for crime appears to be down on a national level [in 2010], it is likely that crime is less of a concern for rural Canadians and this brings down the proportion of mentions of crime. Tracking at a city level is unaffected. " (Adapted from Ipsos Canada, Canada's Pulse 2010 Reports) |
