Public opinion survey of residents of Ukraine, December 2018

1. Public Opinion Survey of
Residents of Ukraine
December 13-27, 2018

2. Methodology
2
• 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 territories of Crimea and Donbas) from December 13-
27, 2018, 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 2014 parliamentary 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 of Ukraine and Kyiv). The survey
was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas.
• Stage Two: The selection of settlements was based on towns and villages. Towns were grouped into subtypes according
to their size:
• Cities with populations of more than 1 million
• Cities with populations of between 500,000-999,000
• Cities with populations of between 100,000-499,000
• Cities with populations of between 50,000-99,000
• Cities with populations of up to 50,000
• Villages
Cities and villages were selected by the PPS method (probability proportional to size). The number of selected
cities/villages in each region is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each
region.
• Stage Three: Households were selected by the random route method, and respondents were selected by the “last
birthday” rule.
• The margin of error does not exceed 2.0 percent for the full sample.
• The response rate is 62.7 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).
• For disaggregations by intended vote, the Top 9 parties and the Top 10 presidential candidates are displayed. The sample of
respondents who would vote for other parties/candidates is too small for analysis.
