The Ekos Poll
69 percent of those surveyed agreed with the statement: “I think that there should be a strict ban on guns in urban areas,” The Canadian Press reported today in an article published by Global News. Ottawa-based Ekos Research Associates ran the poll for The Canadian Press.
The poll surveyed 2,287 Canadians by land line and mobile phone from Nov. 10 to 30, and is considered accurate within 2.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, The Canadian Press said.
