Methodology
From October 8 to October 9, 2008 Angus Reid Strategies conducted an online survey among a randomly selected, representative sample of 800 adult residents of Saskatchewan. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 3.5 %, 19 times out of 20. The results have been statistically weighted according to the most current education, age, gender and region Census data to ensure a sample representative of the entire adult population of Saskatchewan. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding.
