(As a non-probability online survey, a margin of error is technically not reported. If the data were collected through a probability sample, the margin of error would be ±2.5%, 19 times out of 20. Using data from the 2021 census, the results were weighted according to age, gender and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population.)
