LucidTalk (LT) recently carried out a NI-Wide poll to gain views and opinions re. the current COVID-19 EMERGENCY. The poll took place from 26th March to 28th March 2020, with a balanced NI representative sample of 2,014 responses collated for the final results.

The poll targeted the established Northern Ireland (NI) LucidTalk online Opinion Panel (13,267 members), which is balanced by gender, age-group, area of residence, and community background, in order to be demographically representative of Northern Ireland. 2,121 full responses were collated, and after data auditing to ensure: (a) 'one person-one vote' responses, and (b) the collation of a robust, accurate, and balanced representative NI sample, - 2,014 full responses were recorded and used for the final representative NI sample. All results presented are accurate in terms of representing NI opinion to within an error of +/-3.3%.
