Angus Reid survey on mandatory long form census
An Angus Reid Survey has 47% of the people against scrapping the mandatory long form census, while 37% have supported the government.
The numbers, when you dig into them, are what I consider to be “50% partisan”, mainly that partisan affiliation is only partially and not fully correlated to whether you support the government’s decision.
One question that I think the survey should have asked, but they didn’t, is asking whether the person answering the poll in question has written the long form census, or not, instead of asking for political affiliation. It would be interesting to see what people filling in the long form census think of this question.
