Catalan independence, the latest poll
Three or four times a year, the Catalan government conducts a wide-ranging survey of political opinion based on a sample of 2,500 people. The most recent was published yesterday:
Baròmetre d’Opinió Política, November 2012
The most interesting question is how people would vote in a referendum on Catalan independence. These are the new figures, together with those for the end of June this year:
If a referendum on the independence of Catalunya were to be held tomorrow, what would you do?
Vote for independence | 57.0% | (was 51.1%) |
Vote against independence | 20.5% | (was 21.1%) |
Abstain | 14.3% | (was 21.1%) |
Other responses | 0.6% | (was 1.0%) |
Don’t know | 6.2% | (was 4.7%) |
Won’t say | 1.5% | (was 1.1%) |
