Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine

March 15-31, 2018

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 March 15-31, 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 settlementsis 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, 2017.

• A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next 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 population of more than 1 million

• Cities with population of between 500,000-999,000



• Cities with population up to 50,000

• Villages

Cities and villages were selected by 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 eachregion.

• Stage Three: Households were selected by 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.

• Response rate is 65.4 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 (USAID).
