Remarks:

The core sample was drawn from the Evangelical Alliance’s self-selecting research panel (‘an opportunity sample’), which is possibly unrepresentative of evangelical churchgoers as a whole. It was supplemented by respondents recruited via social media, who were disproportionately interested in and engaged in politics. Dataset available at UKDA as SN 7786.
