Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine April 21 – May 5, 2017
Methodology •
The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research.
•
The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas) from April 21 to May 5, 2017 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 the size of settlement. An additional 1,378 respondents were also surveyed in the Ukrainian-controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. 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 the Donbas.

•
Cities with a population of between 100,000 and 499,000
•
Cities with a population of between 50,000 and 99,000
•
Cities with a population of up to 50,000
•
