Macedonia Public Opinion Survey

These surveys of Macedonian public opinion were conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute by the Brima market research firm. The surveys includes questions concerning general attitudes toward the government, the internal political situation in Macedonia (2015-2016), the implementation of the Przino Agreement and so forth.

Data was collected over four time periods (June 6-15, 2015/ Sept 29-October 5, 2015 / January 16-27, 2016 / April 19-25, 2016) using in-person, face-to-face methodology by trained professional interviewers.

The sample was prepared using the State Statistical Office data (2002 census results) for the population aged 18 and older, considering the structure of the population according to age, gender, education, type of housing, national affiliation and region and updated according to estimates and primary information, collected by Brima.

Stratification was based on three stages: first, the number of respondents for each of the regions was specified in proportion to the size of the population aged 18 and older that live in it. Second, the sampling plan consisted of 164 sampling points located according to urban/rural split, municipality size and nationality diffusion. Third, the selection of households was based on random route method, whereby in urban areas, every third household on the left-hand side of the street was selected. In rural areas, the wave-wise approach is applied and the selected household is every fourth inhabited house/dwelling on both sides of the interviewer’s route/track, counting from the first house on the left.

This poll was conducted with support from the United States Agency for International Development.
