Canadian Gallup Poll, January 1960, #280

Some of these important topics concern unions, strikes, defence policy and old age pensions. There are also several variables that deal with religious and moral questions like the afterlife and capital punishment.

Respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, demographic, and social variables. Topics of interest include: advertisements; the afterlife; big business influencing laws; Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) benefits; capital punishment abolishment; church attendance; defence policy; Diefenbaker's performance as Prime Minister; family issues; the Federal election; the frequency of the respondents reading the Bible; labour influencing laws; magazine advertisements; the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); newspaper advertisements; whether CPP payments should be paid to ex-patriots; radio commercials; railroad workers pay raises; the truthfulness of radio commercials; union membership; and voting behaviour.
