UNIAN memo. The study was conducted by the Razumkov Center sociological service on September 6-11, 2019. A total of 2,018 respondents aged 18 and older were interviewed in all regions of Ukraine, except for Crimea and the occupied areas in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, where the adult population selected in keeping with key social and demographic indicators was interviewed.
The sample of the poll was multi-stage and random with a quota selection of respondents at the last stage. The theoretical margin of error (excluding the design effect) does not exceed 2.3% with a 0.95% probability.
