Full Survey Results

The survey was conducted between November 10 and December 15, 2017 among 16,680 respondents in 22 assembly constituencies across eight states each. The assembly constituencies where the survey was conducted were randomly selected using the probability proportionate to size method. Thereafter four polling stations within each of the sampled constituencies were selected using the systematic random sampling method. Finally, 30 respondents were also randomly selected using the same method from the latest electoral rolls of the sampled polling stations. This procedure ensures that the selected sample is fully representative of the cross-section of voters in the country. Specially trained field investigators asked the respondents, in a face-to-face interview a detailed set of questions which could take up to 20-25 minutes. They were instructed to interview only those whose names were given to them. At some locations the non-availability of sampled respondents or difficulty in finding households necessitated replacements or substitutions.

Question: "Sexual relationship between two men or two women should be accepted in society."
