THE GALLUP ORGANIZATION HUNGARY

Analytical Report, page 3

Introduction The survey’s fieldwork was carried out between the 16th and the 27th of February 2007. Over 30,000 randomly selected citizens aged 15 years and older were interviewed in the EU27 countries and in Croatia, Turkey, US. Telephone interviews were conducted in each country with the exception of the Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary Poland, Romania and Slovakia where, both telephone and face-to-face interviews were conducted (700 webCATI and 300 F2F interviews) To correct for sampling disparities, a post-stratification weighting of the results was implemented based on important socio-demographic variables.

Main findings Within the EU Within the EU Member States, there are definite divides, both North-South and East-West. These preferences and viewing habits appear to depend not only on taste and culture but also on the status of the available infrastructure. The EU citizens that show the most interest in political and social affairs, and in EU-related topics, mainly include older citizens, those over the age of 55, and those who have a higher level of educational attainment.

• The Northern countries of the EU15 generally have good availability of high-speed Internet, and of both cable and satellite TV.

o Citizens are therefore more aware of the international news channels. o In terms of content, they are more satisfied with news programmes and less

demanding in the quest for more information. o These citizens also spend less time watching TV, but tend to show the most interest in

politics (within the EU).

• Citizens of the Southern countries of the EU15, together with Cyprus and Malta, have less access to high-speed Internet and there are fewer installations of cable and satellite facilities.

o They are therefore less aware of international news channels and spend less time

surfing Internet news sites. o These citizens are not so satisfied with programme content. o They want more information about the EU and admit to having less knowledge about

politics in general.

• Finally, the Eastern EU countries mainly lack access to high-speed Internet as the availability of cable and satellite TV is higher than it is in the Southern European countries (note: seven of the 10 Eastern countries have implementation rates of 70% or above for cable and / or satellite TV).

o Citizens from these Member States therefore spend less time surfing news sites. o However, they spend more time watching TV, are more satisfied with programme

content and more likely to say there are too many political programmes. o They do, however, want to receive more information about the EU.

• As for the types of information that EU citizens would most like to receive, there is interest

in all areas (e.g., EU citizens’ rights, health & social policies, the role of the EU in the world and the enlargement policy). There are interest rates of above 50% in all such topics.

• Further analysis allowed us to define groups as being “very active” politically (more interest

in the news, political programmes, debates, etc.), “active”, “passive” etc.: typically the “very active” citizens are male, over the age of 55, no longer working and those with a higher level of education. These “very active” citizens show a much greater interest in the EU.


US and EU comparisons

• As could be expected, there are differences and similarities to be seen if one compares views in the EU and the US about news and political programmes on TV:

o Both EU and US citizens tend to agree that the news presentation is too sensational,

that there is insufficient quality on TV and that political programmes are not creative or original enough.

o However, American viewers are more interested in, and less bored by, these programmes, and they claim to have a much greater understanding of politics.

o US citizens also disagree that the choice of programmes is too limited and they feel that that there are sufficient programmes of this nature on TV.

o Finally, almost 50% of Americans would like more EU-related news and just less than one-third would participate in interactive programmes (about the subject).

• Overall, interest in EU-related news is high: 63% in the EU and 54% for US citizens.

• In general, national TV and newspapers are the preferred media outlets for receiving news

about the EU, although US citizens put greater reliance on their local TV and press.

• When it comes to defining the most important features of a media outlet, EU and US citizens find that their views coincide: they all specify reliability, objectivity, clarity of information and independence - in the same ranking of importance.

• People in Europe spend less time watching television than American citizens. Nearly half of

Americans watch TV for more than three hours a day; that is twice the EU figure. The majority of EU citizens watch TV for between one and three hours a day. The higher EU figure is especially true for elder citizens and those with less education.

• Although Americans spend more time watching television than Europeans, people in the EU

watch more daily news programmes.

• In terms of preferred viewing, news programmes are the most popular: 48% of EU citizens mention these programmes, and there are similar numbers in the US. 15-24 year-olds and those still in education are not attracted by news programmes (only one-third of these groups watch the news).

• Access to news websites is popular, especially in the US (67%). The EU figure is 45%, and

the most likely users of such a facility are the young, the highly-educated and those in metropolitan areas. However, 73% of Americans have high-speed Internet access, while the EU figure stands at 58%.

1. Access to the infrastructure This section examines the facilities that EU citizens have access to, i.e. a high-speed Internet connection, and additionally the ability to pick-up international TV channels either via cable or satellite. Obviously, access to such facilities has a bearing on citizens’ programme preferences and viewing habits.

1.1. High-speed Internet Access

Access to high-speed Internet is much higher in the EU15 (59%) than in the newer Member States (43%), but some of the EU15’s Southern

countries also lack good coverage. Differences by country Among EU Member States, the proportion of those with high-speed Internet access is the highest in the Northern countries. There, the proportion of citizens with such access at home and/or in the workplace is even higher than in the US. Denmark (80%), Sweden (78%), Belgium and the Netherlands (both at 72%), all have just as many, or more, citizens with Internet access as the US (72%). The proportion of those who only have Internet access at home is the highest in Belgium and the Netherlands (54% and 45%, respectively).

On the basis of high-speed Internet access, the NMS12 (43%) and the candidate countries (Croatia and Hungary) are below the EU average. The country with the lowest proportion of people with this kind of Internet access is Romania, where only a quarter of citizens have access at home or in the workplace. With an EU average of 56% (being Net-enabled), the figures are also considerably lower in Lithuania, Bulgaria and Slovakia (four out of 10 citizens have access). In Cyprus, Poland and Hungary, the accessibility figures are just above the NMS12 average.

Q3. Do you have access to a fast / broadband internet connection ...

The EU candidate countries are not particularly well supplied in terms of Net access. In Turkey, just over a quarter (29%), and in Croatia (36%), of the population have access to the Internet either at home or at the workplace. The proportion of those with access to the Internet is significantly higher in the EU15 than in the NMS12 countries: compared with 59% in the former, the rate is 43% in the countries that have joined since 2004. One significant figure, in the EU15, is in Greece (35%), where access to the Internet is considerably lower than the EU average. Age and education make a difference High-speed Internet access has a strong correlation with both age and education. Approximately three-quarters of those aged below 40, the same number with a university degree, and even more of those still in education (79%) have high-speed access to the Internet. A similar number of employees have fast access.

Europe-US comparisons Almost six out of 10 EU citizens (56%) have high-speed Internet access at home or at their workplace, but these figures are surpassed in the US, where 72% of citizens have such a facility. One-third of Europeans only have access to the Internet at home, an extremely small proportion (5%) have access only in the workplace and one-fifth (18%) at both places. On the other hand, just over a third (36%) of Americans have Web access at both home and at the office. Nearly a third (29%) of Americans have Internet access only at home, while 7 percent have access to the Internet only at their workplace.

1.2. Access to TV channels (via cable and satellite)

Here, a divide exists but it is not so much between old and new Member States, but between Northern and Southern Europe. Many Southern

countries, including Greece, France, Italy, Cyprus and Turkey, all lack widespread access to cable / satellite TV.

Differences in EU Member States and the candidate countries There are significant differences among European countries in regard to the way in which citizens access TV channels. In countries that are more densely populated with cable, the use of satellite tends not to be widespread, and, where broadcasts are characteristically received by satellite, there is a lower dependency on cable networks. For example, in Belgium, where cable coverage is almost complete (94%), only one in 10 Belgians (10%) has satellite access.

In addition to differences in the usage of cable and satellite in the various Member States, there are many European countries with a high proportion of citizens lacking either option to access international TV channels. In Greece, the vast majority of the population (83%) has neither cable nor satellite access. In France and Cyprus, two-thirds of the population are not supplied in this way either. Finally, the majority of the population suffers from a lack of provision of either cable or satellite receivers in Spain (59%), Italy (59%), the Czech Republic (56%) and Finland (56%). However, Belgians, Luxemburgers, Danish, Dutch and Romanians, are all well supplied, with the numbers of their citizens not having any of the access options being below 10 percent.

Europe – US comparisons The number of people who do not have access to either cable TV or satellite receiving options is considerably higher in the EU (36%) than in the US. In the latter, only 9 percent of citizens are in this situation. In both the EU and the US, the majority of the citizens access TV channels by cable. There is a significant difference in the spread of cable networks, however: while three-quarters (77%) of Americans access TV channels this way, less than half (41%) of Europeans use this method. Significantly less people watch TV via satellite: one-third (31%) of EU citizens and not many more (40%) in the US.

A quarter (25%) of Americans have access to both cable and satellite, while in the EU, this figure drops to 7%.

2. Television viewing habits This section examines the viewing habits of respondents, including the number of hours spent per day watching TV programmes, either on their television sets or over the Internet. It also covers responses concerning specialised programmes that might be watched.

2.1. Time spent watching TV during the working week

Citizens in the newer Member States spend more time watching TV than their EU15 counterparts. However, the Brits and Dutch buck

the EU15 trend with high viewing figures. Age and level of education are also key factors.

EU Member States and candidate countries variations Regarding viewing habits, there are significant differences within the EU between East and West. Among some of the NMS12 countries, viewing habits are rather similar to those in the US, with high figures for those who watch TV for more than three hours on an average weekday. Viewing figures in the EU15 (24%) are considerably lower. In Bulgaria, nearly half (45%), and in Romania, Lithuania and Slovakia, one-third of the population spend more than three hours a day watching TV. The lowest viewing figures are recorded in Spain (12%), Austria (18%), Germany (19%), Slovenia (19%), Luxembourg (19%) and Denmark (19%); in these countries less than a fifth of the population spend time watching TV for more than three hours a day. Citizens in the EU candidate countries (Turkey and Croatia) also spend a lot of time watching TV; more than half (54%) of Turkish citizens, and roughly a third (36%) of Croatians watch TV for more than three hours a day. Among the Western European countries, the British spend the most time watching TV; four out of 10 (39%) watch TV for more than three hours per day.

Age and the level of education impact viewing figures The time spent watching TV also correlates with age and the level of respondents’ education. The proportion of those who spend more than three hours a day watching television, during the working week, is the highest among those older than 55 (35%) and those citizens with the least amount of formal education (37%).

2.2. Time spent watching TV at the weekend

Weekend viewing figures are higher across all Member States, with Slovakia showing the biggest increase from

weekday figures. People living in the NMS12 countries also watch significantly more television at the weekend than people in the EU15. Bulgarians, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Romanians and Hungarians are particularly likely to spend time in this way, as half, or even more than half, of their populations spend more than three hours per weekend day watching TV. The two candidate countries, Turkey and Croatia, are also among those countries where citizens spend a considerable amount of time watching weekend TV. Among Western European countries, again, the Brits spend the most time watching TV; half of all British citizens spend more than three hours on this activity on a typical weekend day. Comparing the weekday and weekend viewing figures, the biggest differences in Europe are seen in Slovakia, where the figures increase (for watching TV for over three hours per day) from 33 % (weekday) to 57% (weekend). On the other hand, the Italians hardly show any differences – 24% during the week and 26% at the weekend.

Q2. And on an average weekend day how much time, in total, do you spend watching television on your TV set?

Europe - US differences People living in the EU spend much less time watching television than their American counterparts. On an average weekday, a quarter of the EU’s citizens (24%) watch TV for less than one hour, while the corresponding figure in the US is 15%. The majority of EU citizens watch television for between one and three hours per day, while a quarter (25%) watch for longer periods than that. However, on the other side of the Atlantic, nearly half (45%) of American citizens spend their time watching TV for more than three hours a day.

At the weekend, both EU citizens and Americans spend more time watching TV (on each day) than on weekdays. The majority of Americans (54%) spend more than three hours viewing on a Saturday or Sunday, while a third (37%) of EU citizens do the same. One in five EU citizens (21%) and one in eight Americans (13%) spend less than one hour a day watching TV or do not watch TV at all at the weekend.

2.3. Time spent watching TV over the Internet

Watching TV over the Internet is not yet commonplace in either the EU Member States or the US.

Differences by Member States and candidate countries Within the EU Member States, there are no major differences in the spread of people watching television over the Internet. However, it is slightly more common in the NMS12 (7% viewing rates) than in the EU15 (5%). Among people using the Internet, this option is used in the highest proportion in the Czech Republic (12%), followed by the Latvian and Danish citizens. The lowest figures recorded are in France (3%), with a considerable number of other EU15 Member States at 4%. As for the candidate countries, one in 10 Turks and just 2% of Croats use the Internet to watch TV.

2.4. Watching specialised channels

The most-watched specialised channels are those reporting local or regional news

In the course of the interviews, respondents with access to cable or satellite TV were asked to say whether they watch specialised channels at least once a week. In the event, the most-watched specialised channels are those reporting local or regional news; two-thirds (60%) of EU citizens, and a remarkable nine out of 10 (87%) US citizens watch such channels. The second most-watched specialist channels are the ones showing films, which are watched by two-thirds (67%) of Americans, and more than half (58%) of EU citizens. Besides these channels, more than half of EU citizens watch, at least once a week, cultural channels, national 24-hour news programmes, sports and music channels. Travel channels are also popular, with 38% of EU citizens watching one or more of them every week. A similar number of people report tuning in to the international 24-hour news channels. Lower viewing figures exist for channels for children (29%), channels in a foreign language (26%) and community channels (25%). The lowest figures are, perhaps not surprisingly, registered for the channels dealing exclusively with political and parliamentary matters (22%).

3. Programmes that people prefer to watch For respondents who do watch news programmes, questions were asked as to their preferred types of viewing. They were asked to choose their three favourite types of TV programmes.

3.1. Preferences within EU Member States and candidate countries

Interest in the news is lower in the EU15 Member States but there are dramatic differences, e.g. Portugal 80% and

Germany 30%. When asked to select the three types of programme that they most like to watch, the majority of the respondents selected news bulletins. Half of the EU citizens selected news (48%) as one of their first three choices: this figure was composed of a quarter (27%) selected news as the first choice, one in ten (12%) as the second choice, and almost as many for the third (9%) preference. Among EU Member States, the Portuguese view news programmes more than any other nationality, with eight out of 10 choosing that type of programme. They are followed by the Dutch, Belgians and Swedish (74%, 73% and 65% respectively). Least likely to choose the news as their favourite type of viewing are citizens of two of the Baltic countries: Estonia (23%) and Latvia (27%). Also with low rates of interest are British (31%), Germans (30%) and Maltese (33%) citizens. However, Germans do watch an above average number of documentaries (14% vs. 11% EU average), as do the Brits (17%). Among the candidate countries, the proportion of news consumers is high in Turkey; here eight out of 10 (79%) citizens selected news programmes, while people living in Croatia are someway below the EU average (48%), as only one in three Croatians (29%) prefer to watch news bulletins.

Younger citizens are not attracted by the news The youngest of the EU’s citizens are the least likely to choose news as a preferred option; only one-third (36%) selected the news as one of their first three preferred options. The proportion of news consumers is the highest among the more highly-educated and the self-employed (54% and 53% respectively).

4. Awareness and perception of television news channels This section focuses on the extent to which respondents are aware of international news channels, (i.e. those broadcasting to several countries), the frequency of viewing such channels and their opinions on which ones deliver the best coverage of EU-related news.

4.1. Awareness of international news channels

CNN and the BBC dominate the landscape, but the awareness levels are not particularly high (with both

reporting figures of 15% or under) We looked at the awareness of TV news channels in each country by asking respondents to name the international news channels that they have access to. Surprisingly, one-third of EU citizens questioned could not, or did not want to, name any international news channels. Taking all Member States in to consideration, CNN was the channel that first came to mind for the highest number of respondents (15%), followed by the BBC (at 10%). No other channel initially sprang to mind for respondents in any great numbers, although EuroNews and Skynews both managed a 3% recognition rating. Similar ratings went to National stations such as TF1 (France), RAI1 (Italy) and NTV (Turkey), with the latter having high ratings in Germany and Austria (both above 10%). The “other" category includes channels that were each mentioned – as a first choice - by less than 1 percent of respondents.

We next looked at the overall awareness of the two channels that dominated the findings – CNN and the BBC. These figures show not only those responses that first came to mind, but also any other mentions of those specific channels. Awareness of CNN Amongst citizens in all of the EU Member States, the Dutch (55%), Swedish (55%) and Danish (48%) are those that are most aware of this American news channel. The least likely to be aware of the channel are the Italians (10%), French (10%) and Finnish (12%). Note: France, Italy and Finland are three of the countries that have access rates to cable and / or satellite of below 50% (see section 1). Approximately one-fifth of Turkish and Croatian respondents (16% and 21%, respectively) are aware of CNN and its output. In the European countries, males, those younger than 55, graduates and metropolitan residents are more aware of this American channel than other demographic groupings.

Awareness of the BBC Not surprisingly, BBC has the most recognition in the UK, where more than half of the population (57%) are aware of its international credentials and have access to this news channel. The Irish are aware of this channel in nearly the same proportion (50%). In the other Member States, the awareness of the BBC is somewhat lower. The proportion of citizens aware of the BBC is relatively higher in Sweden (42%), the Netherlands (39%), Denmark (39%) and Hungary (33%). On the other hand, awareness of this channel is lower in France (6%), Italy (8%) and Spain (9%). Again, these are countries where cable and satellite access is relatively rare. It should also be noted that as well as this North-South divide, there is also a marked difference between the EU15 (22%) and the NMS12 (17%), which may be due to more to the BBC’s own

coverage over cable, as NMS12 countries do depend more on that means of access compared to satellite. Recognition rates in the candidate countries – Turkey and Croatia – are respectively of 5% and 11%.

US awareness of international news channels CNN was also the channel that first came to mind (27%) in the US, followed in this case by ABC News (20%). The FOX News (13%), CBS News (9%) and NBC News (8%) channels were also mentioned – as a first choice - by a number of respondents. Sixteen percent of American mentioned other channels, and 8 percent could not, or did not want to, specify news channels. Note that the BBC channel did not occur to any US respondents as a means of watching international news.

4.2. Frequency of watching the news channels – the ones that first spring to mind

Rates of watching – the most recognisable news channels -

are similar in the EU and the US In the EU, among those respondents who are aware of international news channels, more than one third (38%) mentioned that they watch the channel (first mentioned by them) every day; a quarter watch it several times a week and 13% several times a month. On the whole, three-quarters of EU citizens, of those aware of international news channels, watch the news programme that first comes to mind several times a month. Among EU citizens aware of international news channels, Slovaks, Luxemburgers, Maltese, Czechs, Polish, Italians, Estonians and Belgians (nine out of 10) are the most likely to watch the news channels most known by them on a regular basis. Respondents in the candidate countries also watch the news channels most known by them in high proportions. Conversely, Swedish and Danish citizens are less likely to watch the channel that first comes to their mind (43%, 49% respectively).

4.3. The most appreciated news channels for reporting on the EU

The BBC is the international channel held in the highest regard, followed by Euronews and CNN. But the response levels are low

for all channels. The majority of EU residents (56%) cold not, or did not want to, answer the question as to which international news channel treats European issues the best. Most respondents specified local and national channels, which were only mentioned by less than 1 % of the total number of interviewees – these were placed in the “other” response category (15%). Only a quarter of EU citizens mentioned an international channel that would deal fairly with European affairs. The BBC sprang to mind immediately for 7% of EU citizens, and fewer numbers mentioned the Euronews, CNN and Skynews channels (4%, 4% and 2%, respectively). It is interesting to note that after the BBC, the channel that is seen to give the best presentation of EU-related news is Euronews, mentioned slightly more frequently than CNN.

British and Irish citizens mentioned BBC, in the highest proportions, as one of the best channels for broadcasting European issues. However, the BBC is not held in particularly high regard for reporting EU news by the French (1%), Austrians (3%), Luxemburgers (3%) and Italians (3%). The Turks (1%) share this view.

The US situation A third of the Americans could not answer this question (35%), while CNN came to the mind of the most people (27%) as the best channel for reporting European affairs. CNN was followed by BBC America and FOX News (both with 8%).

Q21. Thinking of all the news channels broadcasting in several countries, in your opinion, which are the ones that best deal with European affairs, the European Union? First response

Opinions about the BBC and its coverage of European affairs: within the EU Member States, the US and candidate countries. (among those who watch news on TV and / or over the Internet, %)

5. Interest in the news This section looks at interest in the news within the EU Member States, the US and in the two candidate countries.

5.1. News programmes on television

Although Americans spend more time watching TV than Europeans, people in the EU tend to watch more news

programmes on a daily basis.

The EU Member State / candidate country breakdown Three-quarters (76%) of EU citizens watch television news programmes every day: a third of them (32%) several times a day, and almost one in two (44%) once a day. The biggest news aficionados among EU Member States are the citizens of Italy, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark and Spain, where the proportion of daily news watchers reaches or exceeds 80% of the population. The French and the Czech citizens are not particularly keen on keeping in touch with the news in this way; in these countries only six out of 10 citizens are likely to watch TV news. In the candidate countries, Turkey and Croatia, the proportion of daily news watchers is especially high. Nearly the whole population (87%) in Croatia and a similar proportion in Turkey (83%), watch news programmes every day.

Viewing habits for watching TV news programmes: by EU Member States, candidate countries and the US (%)

Q6. On average, do you watch news programmes on television?


Age and education are key factors Among EU citizens, those who spend the most time watching TV, that is, the elderly and those with the lowest levels of education, are also the most likely to watch news programmes. Half of the people older than 55 (47%) watch several news programmes a day, while only one-fifth of those aged in the 15-24 bracket do this (18%). A significant number of people that left school before the age of 16 (43%) watch several news programmes a day.

The picture in the US Although Americans spend more time watching TV than Europeans, people in the EU tend to watch more news programmes on a daily basis. Across the Atlantic, two-thirds of US citizens (68%) watch news programmes on a daily basis, and almost one-third (28%) of them tune-in several times per day. As for people who never watch the news, the numbers are low for both EU and US citizens (5% and 2% respectively).

Relatively few people watch news programmes over the Internet.

In the US, two-thirds of the population (68%) never watch such programmes over the Net, although one in seven Americans (15%) do this several times per week. In the EU, this type of news watching is less widespread. Eight out of 10 Union citizens do not watch news programmes over the Internet, and only 12% watch such programmes at least once per week.

5.3. News websites

A third (35%) of EU citizens are likely to look at news websites on a frequent basis. On the other hand, two-thirds (57%) of US residents

browse news websites. Less usage of news websites in the newer Member States People living in the EU15 countries use the Internet as a news channel (37%) much more than the NMS12 (28%). Luxemburgers, Swedish, Danish, French, Irish, British and Dutch citizens are particularly enthusiastic to use the Net in this way. In these countries, the majority of the population visit news portals on quite a frequent basis. Among the citizens of the new Member States, those most likely to check out news websites are the Latvians, Czechs and Slovenians. This form of obtaining news is the least popular in Romania, where only one in six people above the age of 15 (10%) use this possibility regularly. In the candidate countries, one-fourth of Croatians (24%) and a fifth (20%) of Turks access news websites.

The role of age and education The use of the Internet as a news vehicle is again more characteristic of EU citizens in the younger age brackets (under 40) and with a higher level of education. Two-thirds of those aged 15-24 (64%) and over half of those aged between 25 and 39 (58%) visit Internet news portals. Six out of 10 among the most educated, and 70% of those still studying obtain information in the same way. People living in metropolitan zones are more likely to be visitors to these portals (54%) than those living in rural areas (37%).

6. Interest in political programmes 1 This section looks at the general interest in politics, for all respondents in the 27 EU Member States, the candidate countries and in the US.

6.1. Interest in debates, interviews and analyses

There are no real patterns of viewing with EU Member States – although average viewing rates are similar in

the EU15 and NMS12 countries. Across EU Member States A third of EU citizens, who frequently watch news programmes on TV, or via the Internet, regularly watch political programmes (such as debates, interviews and analyses of the political scene). Approximately one-quarter of EU citizens watch these programmes only if there is nothing else of interest on TV, and a similar number (26%) never watch political programmes at all. Within the EU, the Danish, Austrians, Germans, Slovenians, Irish, Latvians, Swedish, Hungarians, Greeks and Italians watch political programmes in the highest proportions; eight out of 10 people in these Member States show an interest. The countries that have the lowest viewing figures for political programmes include Malta (58%) and Belgium (59%). There are no wide variations between the EU15 and NMS12, but Finnish citizens are the least likely to watch political programmes systematically.

1 We asked these questions related to particular political programmes only with those respondents who answered that they watch news on TV or over the Internet with some regularity (that is, not ‘never’), therefore in the percentage of the full sample: IE, 100% / UK, 100% / US, 100% / LV, 99% / TR, 98% / HR, 97% / FI, 97% / IT, 97% / HU, 97% / DK, 97% / NL, 97% / LT, 96% / NMS10, 96% / PL, 96% / PT, 96% / EU25, 96% / CZ, 96% / EU15, 96% / EE, 96% / EU27, 96% / SI, 96% / SK, 95% / NMS12, 95% / SE, 95% / EL, 95%/ ES, 95% / FR, 95% / CY, 94% / DE, 94% / LU, 94% / RO, 94% / BG, 94% / AT, 93% / MT, 93% / BE, 92%


Slightly higher viewing figures for political programmes in the US than in Europe Four out of 10 EU citizens (34%) frequently watch programmes about political current affairs, while almost half of Americans above the age of 15 (39%) do so. Europeans are more likely than Americans to watch current affairs programmes if there is nothing else of interest on at the same time (27% versus 13%). Both in the EU and the US, a quarter of the population always avoid these programmes (26% and 23%, respectively).

7.1. Interest in questions related to EU

There are no significant differences between the older and newer Member States, but citizens in some of the NMS12

countries have quickly lost interest in EU-related news Two-thirds of people living in the EU (64%), and more than half of U.S. residents (54%) are interested in questions related to the EU. On the other hand, one in 10 of EU citizens and a quarter of Americans are not at all interested in this issue.

Variations by Member States Within the EU Member States, the interest in EU affairs is the lowest in Estonia (37%) and Portugal (43%); in these countries less than half of citizens find the EU to be an interesting topic. At the opposite end of the scale, eight out of 10 Luxemburgers and Bulgarians show interest in such questions. In the candidate countries, Turkish citizens are above the EU average (66% vs. an EU average of 64%), while Croats tend to be less interested than the average EU citizen (at 49% only). There is little difference between the older and newer Member States, but, as seen, interest is surprisingly low in Estonia and Croatia. Although France rejected the constitutional treaty, its citizens are still above the EU average in terms of their interest in the Union.

Q8. How interested would you say you are in questions related to Europe / the European Union. Are you...?

Interest in EU-related news: for the EU Member States, candidate countries and the US (%). (among those who watch news on TV and / or over the Internet, %)


Do people avoid EU news? One fifth of European residents tend to avoid or skip European news in the media (between 18% and 22%), while a third of Americans do this (between 28% and 36%).

Among the EU15 Member States, the Brits are the most likely to skip European news; a third of the UK population does this regardless of which media outlet they are using. At the other end of the scale, the Portuguese are the least likely to avoid news about the EU, with only one-sixth (between 12% and 16% for the various outlets) of the population acting in this way.

EU US

In general, citizens from the NMS12 countries are less likely to skip European news than those from the EU15. In the former, the Estonians (over a quarter of the population, between 22% and 29%) are the most likely to avoid any EU-news, while those skipping such news in the lowest proportions are the Slovaks (between 12% and 16%). Cypriot citizens are the most likely to turn off radio news programmes, while Estonians are most likely to ignore newspaper stories.

8. Viewers’ attitudes in the EU and the US

8.1. Attitudes in the EU

Seventy percent of EU citizens like the way in which news is presented, but similar numbers decry the quality

of TV programmes on offer. We made various statements to respondents in relation to television in general (i.e. too many, or too few, programmes), the availability and quality of news programmes, and the presentation of political news. On the positive side, 70% of citizens like the way in which news is presented and only 36% think that there is an insufficient number of programmes about politics and current affairs. However, there is a lot of criticism (across the Member States), with 73% thinking news programmes are too sensational, and the same number feeling there is a lack of quality and a lack of originality. Comparing the NMS12 and the EU15 countries, the former are less likely to:

• Feel there is a lack of quality programmes (60% - NMS12, 72% - EU15, respectively) • Agree there are not enough programmes about current affairs (29%, 38%) • See the news programmes as too superficial (42%, 55%) • Say there is not enough about the EU on TV (53%, 60%)

NMS12 citizens are also more bored by politics (56%, 49%), more likely to say they do not understand the topic (42%, 32%) and show less interest in it (62%, 49%).

Viewers attitudes: % of views in the EU(among those who watch news on TV and / or over the Internet, %)

Is there a lack of EU-related information? In the Member States, the Greeks, Cypriots and Italians are the ones most likely to think that they do not have enough information about the EU, its policies and institutions. In these countries, approximately three-quarters (80%, 73% and 72% respectively) of the population share this opinion. On the other hand, in Lithuania (48%), Denmark (48%), Malta (47%), Austria (47%) and the Czech Republic (46%) barely half of the population, and in Latvia (38%), Slovenia (35%), Estonia (35%) and Finland (31%) just one-third, think that they do not have sufficient information about the EU. Interestingly, citizens in the EU15 countries are more likely to feel that the amount of information is insufficient (61%), compared to the NMS12 (53%). In the candidate countries, three-quarters of Turkish citizens (73%), and more than half of Croatians (57%) feel this way. Overall, the Greeks and the Turkish citizens are the most likely to feel very strongly about this.

Are more interactive programmes about the EU required? Interactive programmes about the EU would be the most popular in Greece (66%) and Cyprus (62%). In the Northern countries, however, citizens are less responsive. For example, in countries like Latvia, Estonia, the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland, less than 25% would participate. Although the figures for the EU15 (40%) and the NMS12 (46%) are reasonably close, there are dramatic differences between individual member states. Note the low level of interest in the US (29%).

Viewers attitudes: there should be more interactive programmes about the EU: views in the EU Member States, candidate countries and the US.(among those who watch news on TV and / or over the Internet, %)


Are TV programmes of sufficient quality? The responses in regard to the creativity and quality of programmes are similar to those in regard to the need for more EU-related information, i.e. the Greek and Turkish citizens (both over 70%) feel strongly that the programmes are of insufficient quality, along with another candidate country, Croatia. Other Southern countries – Italy, Spain and Portugal – share this view (all at 67%). The countries where respondents are the least concerned about the quality of programmes are all from the new Member States, i.e. Latvia, Estonia and Slovakia (rates of 46% or less). Once again, the EU15 countries (at 59%) are more concerned than the NMS12 countries in total, at 53%. US citizens share the concerns of those in the EU (59% and 58% respectively see a lack of quality).

Do citizens sufficiently understand politics? Among the EU Member States, Spanish (55%), Portuguese (51%), Hungarians (47%) and Polish citizens (46%) are those most likely to feel that they have a lack of understanding about politics. In this respect, the Spanish and Portuguese are out of step with the rest of the EU15 citizens, as the EU15 countries (just 33% say they lack understanding) are more confident than their NMS12 neighbours (at 43%). The Germans (19%), Danish (21%) and Austrians (22%) are the most confident about their political knowledge. Within the candidate countries, the Turkish admit that their understanding could be improved (53%) compared to Croatians (only at 36%).

Viewers attitudes: Respondents have a lack of understanding of politics: in the EU by sex, age and level of education (%).


Do citizens show an interest in politics? In regard to an interest in politics, those most likely to respond positively are: men (64%), those over the age of 55 (65%) and those with the highest levels of education (70%). These figures correspond to an EU average of 59%. The lowest ratings are for the youngest age group (53%) and those who left school before the age of 16 (52%)

There is much more interest in the EU15 than in the NMS12. In the latter, only 49% of citizens responded positively, compared to 62% of EU15 citizens. The top nine Member States are all from the EU15, with Germany (76%) leading the way. The most interest in the NMS12 comes from Bulgaria (at 59%).

Are news programmes too superficial? Opinions vary about the quality of news programmes among the various EU Member States. News programmes are seen as being more superficial by EU15 citizens compared to NMS12 respondents – 54% and 42% respectively. Once again, it is mainly the Southern countries: the Greeks (80%), Italians (68%), Spanish (66%), French (61%) and Portuguese (61%) who would like more in-depth news reporting. Candidate country Turkey tends to share the view of the Southern-most EU Member States, with a rating of 77%, just below the Greeks. The Americans (62%) are also of the opinion that programmes are too superficial. The countries that least agree with the statement that TV programmes are too superficial are all from the newer Member States, i.e. the Czechs (40%), Slovenians (39%), Estonians (37%) and Bulgarians (37%).

Viewers attitudes: News programmes are too superficial: opinions in the EU Member States, the candidate countries and the US.(among those who watch news on TV or/and over internet, %)


OK


Are news programmes too sensational? Within all 27 Member States, the majority of the populations agree that news programmes tend to be of a too sensationalist nature. There is no great difference between the EU15 (73%) and the NMS12 (71%) in this regard, although the Greeks feel this very strongly (58% strongly agree and 24% agree), while the Latvians (58%), Dutch (57%) and Finnish (51%) are the least likely to hold such a view. The candidate countries feel strongly about the issue, with Turkish citizens reaching a remarkable 83%, perhaps due to reporting about Turkish entry to the EU, while the Croatians have a “strongly agree” rating that is only beaten by Greece and Turkey.

Viewers attitudes: News programmes are too sensational: opinions in the EU Member States, candidate countries and the US.(among those who watch news on TV or/and over internet, %)


Is the presentation good enough? There are also wide variations when it comes to rating the presentation of news programmes. Favourable views range from 37% to 93%, although the overall ratings for the EU15 and NMS12 are identical (both at 69%). Significantly above the EU15 average are the old Member States – Finland (93%), the Netherlands (82%), Sweden (82%), Ireland (81%) and the UK (80%). EU15 countries going against this trend are from the South - Greece (37%) and Italy (48%). Within the NMS12, the Hungarians (49%) and Czechs (63%) are the most likely to be unhappy with the presentation, while the Romanians (on 78%) are the most appreciative of the news content.

Viewers attitudes: The presentation of the news is good: opinions for the EU Member States, candidate countries and the US (%). (among those who watch news on TV or/and over internet, %)



No agreement that more political current affairs programmes are required Among EU Member States, it is the citizens of the Southern countries again, e.g. the Greeks (57%), Spanish (56%), Cypriots (47%) and Portuguese (47%), that feel there are not enough political current affairs programmes. The EU15 countries (38%) are more likely to be of this opinion than the NMS12 (29%). However, the relatively low ratings tend to indicate that the Greek and Spanish citizens are the ones that are out of step with the rest of the EU Member States. The very low ratings in the “strongly agree” category show that there is a widespread feeling that there are perhaps too many political and current affairs programmes being aired. Outside of the EU, Turkish citizens do not agree, with 69% wanting more programmes of this type.

8.2 Differences between the EU and the US

US citizens are less likely to say they are either bored by politics or that they do not understand it. However, there are

many areas of similarity, especially in areas of criticism. When it comes to criticising television output, there are great similarities between the views of US and EU citizens. Almost identical views are held in several areas, such as:

• The news is too sensational • There is insufficient quality on TV • Political programmes are not creative or original enough

In these three cases, 60% or more of both EU and US citizens either agree, or strongly agree, with those views. Across the Atlantic, it should also be noted that almost 60% of Americans do not agree that the choice of programmes is too limited, that the choice is difficult and that there are not enough political programmes on TV. (in each case, the disagreement is stronger than that felt in the EU). There are other differences however: US citizens are less likely to say they are either bored by politics or that they do not understand it. They are also more likely to say the news is too superficial and that they have an interest in politics. In terms of information about the EU, almost half of Americans believe that they do not receive enough (48%), while 29% of Americans would like to participate in more interactive programmes about the EU.

9. Areas where more information about the EU is required This final section examines those EU-related topics, where citizens of the Union would like to receive more information. EU citizens, and those in the two candidate countries, were asked a series of questions about their levels of interest in certain topics- ranging from their rights as a European citizen and the EU’s common foreign and security policy, through to the EU’s role in the world and the history of the Union. In addition, the section examines: a) how citizens would like to receive information, either through national or local channels, and b) the most important elements that EU citizens judge to be important when choosing a media outlet.

9.1. Areas of EU-related information that are most requested

There is a strong demand – across all EU Member States - for more information about the Union. This demand is especially

strong in Cyprus, Greece and Bulgaria.

We looked at several areas of EU-related interest, and asked if there is a demand for more information. In 10 of the 11 areas where a question was asked, more than half of EU citizens said they would like more information. The only area where less than half of EU citizens wanted more information was about “the history of the EU or the building of Europe”, and even there, a healthy 49% of EU citizens would like to have a better understanding of the topic. Most in demand – information about citizens’ rights The topic that is of the most interest, where the vast majority of EU citizens (70%) would like to receive more information, is that concerning European citizens’ rights. Thirty seven percent of respondents would like to receive ‘much’ more, and 33% ‘some’ more information. Also, a great many EU citizens – estimated at two-thirds - would like to obtain more information about the European social, health and employment policies (31% would like to receive much more information). In regard to the other areas of investigation, approximately six out of 10 EU citizens would like to learn more about all of the following topics:

• How other Europeans solve the difficulties that they face (63%) • The advantages and disadvantages of the EU enlargement policy (63%) • The EU's cultural, youth or education policies (61%) • The EU’s role in the world (61%) • How the European Institutions work (59%) • The advantages and disadvantages if you moved to another EU Member State (59%) • European economics in general (58%) • The EU’s common foreign and security policy (56%)

Q16. For each of the following, tell me if you would like to receive much more information, some more information, or if you already receive enough information…?

Rights as an EU citizen Cypriot citizens are the most vociferous in their demand to receive more information about their rights as an EU citizen; in total nine of 10 Cypriots share this opinion (79% would like to receive “much more” and 8% “some” more information). The Greeks, Bulgarians and Romanians are similarly positioned on this issue. The Scandinavians (especially the Finns and the Danes) are the least likely to say they need more information: only half agree (46%, 57% respectively). Even the Swedes (at 67%) are below the EU average of 70%. Overall, the citizens in the NMS12 countries are more concerned about their rights (73%) than those in the EU15 (68%). However, Finland is the only Member State where the level of interest drops below 50%. In the candidate countries, both Turkish citizens (74%) and Croats (71%) are keen to know more about their potential rights as EU citizens. Most interest among the young and the graduate population With the EU average being at 70%, it is interesting to see where the greatest demand for more information about citizens’ rights lies. It is in those with the most education (76%) and those aged between 25 and 39. Interest drops dramatically for those citizens older than 55 (59%) and for those who left school before the age of 16 (57%). Men (72%) are more interested than women by 5 percentage points.

European social, health and employment policies There’s a sense of deja vu here, with Greek, Cypriot and Bulgarian citizens again topping the poll when it comes to requesting more information about European social, health and employment policies, and the Finns and the Danes showing the least amount of interest. NMS12 countries (72%) are also ahead of their EU15 counterparts in this matter (64%). In the candidate countries, again, Turkish citizens (69%) and Croats (73%) are keen to know more about the EU’s social, health and employment policies. One small change is that the UK drops into the bottom three Member States in terms of its citizens’ interest in wanting to know more about this topic. A similar picture to citizens’ rights As with citizens’ rights, interest in the EU’s social, health and employment policies is highest in those respondents with the highest levels of education and those in the 25-39 years-old age group. Once again, interest drops after the age of 55 (56%) and for people that have spent little time in education (53%). Interest drops below the EU average in rural zones (62%), but hardly any gender differences can be seen.

How do other Europeans solve difficulties? The same three countries (Cyprus, Greece and Bulgaria all have ratings over 75%) are at the top of the pack when it comes to wanting to know how other Europeans solve their problems. Here again, the Finns are again at the bottom (46%), but here joined by the Dutch (45%) and the Brits (who have 47% of citizens who want ‘much’ more or ‘some’ more information about how other EU citizens solve problems), but stay behind the Luxemburgers (59%) and the Belgians (53%).

9.2. Preferred channels

National outlets are preferred to local ones in the EU and in the US, although local outlets have high ratings in the latter. National TV

channels are particularly popular in the EU.

Among EU citizens, the majority (54%) would prefer to receive more information on the EU through national television channels. National daily newspapers are preferred by a quarter (28%) of the respondents, while less select national radio stations (14%), local television channels (14%) and local newspapers (12%). A quarter of Americans (27%) would prefer to receive more information about the EU through national television channels, and a fifth by means of regional television channels (20%) or local daily newspapers (22%). There is therefore a significant difference between Europe and the US, with Americans putting much more faith in local media. Another difference is the number of Americans that would like to get news about the EU via the Internet (16%), whereas the European figure is only 10%.

EU US

Bulgarians (82%) and Hungarians (74%) are those that are the most likely to want their EU news reported via national television channels. That view is more likely to be heard in the NMS12, although Portuguese and Italian citizens also feel that way. The EU15 countries that are the least likely to want national TV stations to bring EU-related news programme are Luxemburg (31%), Austria (36%) and Finland (36%).


9.3. Important aspects We asked citizens in Europe and in the US for their views about the most important elements that would impact their choice of media channel, e.g. speed, reliability, ease of access, etc. Between the EU and the US, we found remarkably little difference. The top four (and in the same order of importance), in both of these continents, are: reliability, objectivity, clarity of presentation and independence.

Most important elements that impact the choice of a media channel, in order to be best informed: for the EU and the US (among those who watch news on TV and / or over the Internet, %)

Q18. When choosing a media to be informed, what is the most important for you? And then?

Reliability of information Although 32% of EU citizens would opt for reliability as a key factor in the choice of media, the figures for the older and the newer Member States differ widely: at 29% and 44% respectively. This could be due to the relatively recent history of the Eastern countries. The reliability of the medium is the most important for Hungarians (59%), Polish (58%), Danish (56%), Greeks (52%) and Cypriots (51%). Of the candidate countries, Turkish citizens rate reliability as more important (71%) than the citizens of any EU Member State. The Croatians are more in line with the EU Member States.

Objectivity of the media Objectivity as a key factor in the choice of media outlet was mentioned primarily by Bulgarians (49%) and Greeks (44%). In the candidate countries, Croatia (53%) and Turkey (44%) were two of the highest in terms of rating this as important. There is not a great deal of difference between the EU15 (30%) and the NMS12 (33%). Objectivity plays the least important role for the Finns (12%), Maltese (12%) and Swedish (13%).

Clarity of information When it comes to the clarity of information, the older Member States (28%) place more importance than the NMS12 countries (20%). However, there are again wide variations. An extremely high degree of importance is recorded by two Southern European countries, Portugal and Italy (52% and 46%). This aspect, on the other hand, is less important for Hungarians (10%), Polish (13%) and Austrians (13%). For the candidate countries, Turkish citizens say this is of little significance compared to the other aspects (8%), while the Croatians are in line with the NMS12 at 19%.

10. Levels of interest in politics and the EU

The citizens that show the most interest in political affairs, and in EU matters, are typically male, citizens over the age of 55, those no longer working, and those that have reached a

higher level of education.

Definitions of the segments2 In the course of the interviews we were able to examine the respondents’ overall interest in political affairs, EU issues and the frequency with which they follow the news. By aggregating responses to a number of questions in these areas (see footnote below), we could define four groups:

• “Very Active” interest: this group includes those who follow political issues daily on TV or the Internet, are interested in European affairs, and systematically watch political programmes, debates and analyses on current social and economic issues.

• “Active” interest: includes those who follow political issues daily on TV or the Internet, and

are interested in European affairs; however, they do not systematically watch political programmes, debates and analyses on current social and economic issues.

• “Passive” interest: includes those who are not characterised by the activity of the above two

groups, and although they do follow the news, they are not interested in EU affairs, or vice versa, they are interested in European issues, but do not follow current events daily.

• “No interest at all”: this covers those who do not follow the news daily either on TV or the

Internet, are not interested in European affairs, and do not systematically watch political programmes, debates and analyses on current social, economic issues.

Is there an EU15 / NMS12 divide? Looking at the four defined segments (above), there is relatively little difference between the typical profiles for the NMS12 and EU15 countries: in the former, 19% of citizens are “very active”, while 35% are “active”. The EU15 figures are respectively, 18% and 33%. However, further examination does throw up some interesting figures. Two of the EU’s founder members, France (9%) and Luxembourg (14%) have very low rates of “very active” citizens, while other EU15 members, such as Spain (12%) and the UK (13%) are also a significant lack of ‘Very active” citizens. Ignoring the difference between “very active” and “active”, it is primarily the Bulgarians, Italians, Romanians, Germans, Luxemburgers, Hungarians and Slovenians who have a significant interest in politics: six out of 10 residents of these countries are active in this area.

2 Based on the following questions: Q6. On average, do you watch news programmes on television: Q7. On average, do you watch news programmes over the internet: Q8. How interested would you say you are in questions related to Europe / the European Union. Are you...? Q10. Generally speaking, do you watch political programmes such as debates, interviews or analyses ...? Q11. And, do you watch programmes about current affairs (society, economy)...?

On the other hand, only one-third of Estonians, and four out of 10 Portuguese, Maltese, British, Czechs, Belgians and Finns are interested in political issues. Note the similar figure in the US.

SEGMENTS - based on poltical interest (%)

Looking at the demographic groupings, one can see that men are more likely to be involved in political activities than women, that such activity increases over the age of 40, that graduates are also likely to active and that, as might be expected, manual workers and those living in rural areas are not particularly active.

Segmentation by age, sex, education and occupation: for the EU (%)

Common attitudes towards the news When looking at attitudes displayed by these four groups (as we defined) towards the presentation, style and content of the news in the media, we see hardly any differences.

• In the four groups, there is full agreement that the news tends to be too sensational (76%-76%-71%-68%).

• Members of the groups do not judge the presentation of the news differently; over two-thirds of the groups identify with the “I like the way that news is presented” attitude (70%-70%70%-64%).

• All four groups agree, in a proportion similar to the EU average, that news programmes tend to be too superficial, that there aren’t enough quality programmes on TV, that political programmes aren’t creative or original enough, and that the choice of programmes is limited.

Differences in regard to the EU We did find, however, significant difference among the groups when it came to an attitude towards the EU; in the groups showing more interest in politics and public affairs, there is greater interest in programmes about the EU - either interactive ones or those that are simply informative. In addition, significantly more respondents in the active groups think there is a lack of political debates and interviews. In the “very active” group, almost half (44%) would like to see more programmes of this type.

The need for more EU-related information The active groups are much more interested in receiving more information about all questions related to the EU. For example, half of the very active group (47%) would like to receive much more information about their rights as European citizens. Among them, over a third (between 36% and 47%) want more information about all the topics we asked about (see below). The one exception was the history of the EU and the building of Europe, which received a 28% rating from the “very active” participants. One point of interest is the relatively low spread (between 22% and 36%) for the amount of interest in receiving more information about the pros and cons of moving to another Member State. This shows that interest in that particular topic is spread across the EU citizenship, regardless of the interviewee’s interest in the political scene.

The need for more EU-related information: by the “politically active”groupings across the EU


% „would like to receive much more information”

Media preferences The data shows that access to groups active in politics and public affairs is most efficiently achieved through the national television channels and daily newspapers. The viewing figures for other television channels (local) or websites do not differ from the EU averages. Among the more active respondents, the objectivity of the media emerges as the more important selection criterion (22%) than the others. The same group are most likely to see the independence of the media as being important. In terms of reliability, there is no difference in opinion across the groupings. The other element reviewed, clarity of treatment, shows no real pattern, with only the “active” group (17%) being above the EU average.

The most important elements one uses when choosing a media outlet: for the “politically active” groupings across the EU% first mention


!

A breakdown of the four groups For the purposes of EU communication strategies, where certain groups might be targeted, the composition of the groups is of interest. Overall, it can be seen that men are more active than women, while political activity increases with both age and the level of education received. Finally, those not working also tend to “very active”, which may point to the “grey” population insisting that their voice is heard.

• "Very active": 55% of the group are male, almost half are 55 years-old or older; respondents that are not (or no longer) working are in the same proportion. One-third (34%) are graduates, but only a minority of citizens are still studying.

• "Active": those below the age of 55 form the majority (70%). Over a third of the group are in

employment (36%), as opposed to being self-employed, while 28% are among the most-educated.


• “Passive” and “very passive”: typified by women (54%, 55%), under 40 (45%, 57%), likely

to be “still in education” (12%, 17%) and more likely to be working in some form (54% and 51%).

Sizes of the sample The sample sizes amount to 1,000 respondents in each country. A weighting factor was applied to the national results in order to compute a marginal total where each country contributes to the EU result in proportion to its population. The table below presents, for each of the 27 Member States: (1) the number of interviews actually carried out in each country (2) the population-weighted total number of interviews for each Member State

Questionnaires 1. The questionnaire prepared for this survey is reproduced at the end of this results volume,

in English (see hereafter). 2. The institutes listed above translated the questionnaire in their respective national

language(s).


Statistical significance of the results The results in a survey are valid only between the limits of a statistical margin caused by the sampling process. This margin varies with three factors: 1. The sample size (or the size of the analysed part in the sample): the greater the number of

respondents is, the smaller the statistical margin will be; 2. The result in itself: the closer the result approaches 50%, the wider the statistical margin

will be; 3. The desired degree of confidence: the more "strict" we are, the wider the statistical margin

will be. As an example, examine this illustrative case: 1. One question has been answered by 500 people; 2. The analysed result is around 50%; 3. We choose a significance level of 95 % (it is the level most often used by the statisticians,

and it is the one chosen for the Table hereafter); In this illustrative case the statistical margin is: (+/- 4.4%) around the observed 50%. And as a conclusion: the result for the whole population lies between 45.6% and 54.4 %. Hereafter, the statistical margins computed for various observed results are shown, on various sample sizes, at the 95% significance level. STATISTICAL MARGINS DUE TO THE SAMPLING PROCESS (AT THE 95 % LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE) Various sample sizes are in rows; Various observed results are in columns:
