Detailed Methodology
2
• The survey was conducted by the public opinion and market research company Baltic Surveys/The Gallup Organization
on behalf of the International Republican Institute. The field work was carried out by Rating Group Ukraine.
• Data was collected throughout Ukraine (including Crimea) March 14–26, 2014, through face-to-face interviews at
respondents’ home.
• The sample consisted of 1,200 permanent residents of Ukraine older than the age of 18 and eligible to vote. It is
representative of the general population by age, gender, education, region and size of the settlement.
• Multistage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday respondent’s selection
procedures.
• Stage one: 27 official administrative regions of Ukraine were defined (25 regions of Ukraine, Kyiv and Sevastopol).
All regions of Ukraine were surveyed.
• Stage two: selection of the settlements - towns and villages. Towns were grouped into subtypes according to the
size:
• City more than one million residents
• City 500,000-999,000 residents
• City 100,000-499,000 residents
• City 50,000-99,000 residents
• City to 50,000 residents
• Village
• Settlements were selected at random. The number of selected settlements in each region was proportional to the
share of population living in a particular type of the settlement in each region.
• Stage three: primary sampling units were described.
• The margin of error does not exceed plus or minus 2.8 percent.
• Response rate was 63 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
• The survey was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
