1 Public Opinion Survey of Residents of Ukraine September 29-October 14, 2018

2 Methodology The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the International Republican Institute s Center for Insights in Survey Research. The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas) from September 29, 2018, through October 14, 2018, through face-to-face interviews at respondents homes. The sample consisted of 2,400 permanent residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. It is representative of the general population by gender, age, region, and settlement size. The distribution of population by regions and settlements is based on statistical data of the Central Election Commission from the 2014 parliamentary elections, and the distribution of population by age and gender is based on data from the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine from January 1, A multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday methods for respondent selection. Stage One: The territory of Ukraine was split into 25 administrative regions (24 regions of Ukraine and Kyiv). The survey was conducted throughout all regions of Ukraine, with the exception of the occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas. Stage Two: The selection of settlements was based on towns and villages. Towns were grouped into subtypes according to their size: Cities with populations of more than 1 million Cities with populations of between 500, ,000 Cities with populations of between 100, ,000 Cities with populations of between 50,000-99,000 Cities with populations of up to 50,000 Villages Cities and villages were selected by the PPS method (probability proportional to size). The number of selected cities/villages in each region is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a certain type in each region. Stage Three: Households were selected by the random route method, and respondents were selected by the last birthday rule. The margin of error does not exceed 2.0 percent for the full sample. The response rate is 61.8 percent percent. Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The survey was financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). 2
