Poll: growing rejection of independence in Catalonia – Deutsche Welle

The ‘no’ to independence leads to ‘yes’ in almost 1.5 percent of difference, according to today’s (29.12.2016) a survey of the Centre of Opinion Studies (CEO), which reflects the fact that, while those in favor of independence are 45.3 percent, the contrary represent an 46,8 percent. The director of the Center for Opinion Studies, Jordi Argeleguet, has explained that the survey, conducted from 1.047 telephone surveys carried out between days 12 and 17 of December, with a confidence level of 95 percent and a margin of error of plus/minus 3,04 percent, indicates that there is a “technical tie” between supporters and detractors of the independence, taking into account the margin of error. Argeleguet has w arned, moreover, that the question of whether “do you want Catalonia to be an independent State?” can not be extrapolated to the result that might occur on an eventual referendum on self-determination, both by the factor of participation, as well as by other variables.(efe).
