Answer the poll

What is measured about New Zealand on this axis. These are facts about the country, not what its people think about them — that is the part of this page waiting on a sample.

The questions that bear on free markets

Asked as a forced choice between two written positions, in randomised order, with the sides flipped for half of respondents.

A · Rules on business usually do more harm than good.
B · Rules on business are needed to keep people safe.
World, unweighted: 0% A · 0% neither · 100% B · n = 2
🇳🇿 n=0
of 100
A · Free trade and business have done more to end poverty than state help has.
B · State help has done more to end poverty than free trade and business have.
World, unweighted: 0% A · 100% neither · 0% B · n = 2
🇳🇿 n=0
of 100

A national figure appears only once that nation clears 100 responses on the question. The world column is a raw count of every answer received and is not post-stratified — it is shown because withholding it would say less, not more.
