The survey was undertaken using SySurvey, which is said to allow journalists, marketers, researchers, and HR managers to undertake targeted and time-critical research at costs way below what other, more famous survey companies charge.
A questionnaire was sent out on Tuesday 4pm with interim results available Wednesday morning (40 percent of a pre-recruited panel of 2000 people responded to the questionnaire within 12 hours). SySurvey extrapolates the results from its 2000 survey completions and assigns them to percentages of the UK population.
