Canadian Gallup Poll, November 1961, #292

For instance, there is a section measuring the presence of appliances, questions on money and general standards of living, and issues such as alcoholism. There are also some more politically based questions, on subjects such as Unemployment Insurance and nuclear war.

The respondents were also asked questions so that they could be grouped according to geographic, demographic and social variables. Topics of interest include: alcoholism; appliances owned or expecting to own soon; car ownership; civil defence during a nuclear war; foreign aid; housing satisfaction; nuclear war; peace with Russia; price expectations; risk of another world war; standards of living; unemployment levels; Unemployment Insurance; union membership; vacations recently taken or planned; voting behaviour; and writing letters to Members of Parliament.
