Size of voter camps in response to Russia's war on Ukraine as a share of people in selected European countries in 2022
The source adds the following information regarding methodology:
The segmentation used in this report into different voter camps in response to Russia’s war on Ukraine was primarily based on the following question: “Which of the following statements comes closest to your view?” Options included: “The most important thing is to stop the war as soon as possible, even if it means Ukraine giving control of areas to Russia”,“The most important thing is to punish Russia for its aggression, even if it means that more Ukrainians are killed and displaced”, “Neither of these”, and “Don’t know”. Respondents who chose the first option constituted the Peace camp. Those who chose the second one ended up in the Justice camp. For those who responded “Neither”, we used another question to single out the Swing voters. This group includes those who said they supported at least five out of ten actions on the part of the EU in response to Russia’s war on Ukraine. Those who chose “Don’t know” or “Neither” in response to the first question, and selected fewer than five actions on the part of the EU in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, were combined into a group called ‘The Rest’.
