Canadian Gallup Poll, November 1964, #309

As well as topics of political significance, such as those involving preferred political parties, leaders and policies, there are also current events questions, on topics such as birth control, medical illness funding, and weight loss. The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, demographic, and social variables.

Topics of interest include: biggest mistakes in life made by respondents; birth control; the Canadian flag; Canadian national anthem; whether Diefenbaker or Pearson makes a better Prime Minister; living peacefully with China and Russia; illness funding; interesting events that happened in the world; the monarchy's significance to Canada; who is the most interesting Canadian; reasons that Canadians perceive parliament to be poor at dealing with problems; preferred political parties; whether to abolish provincial governments; whether telling children about Santa Claus is harmful to them; trying to lose weight; union membership; and voting behaviour.
