Philip E. Converse, Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research

The respondents were administered a post-election questionnaire during the winter (January-March) of 1966 and form a stratified probability cross-section sample of the Canadian population eligible to vote. Open-ended questions measured the respondents' attitudes toward the problems confronting Canada, campaign issues, and also their political efficacy and trust in government. The respondents were questioned about their political party attachments, voting behavior, campaign activities, and attitudes toward campaign financing.
