VRT NWS and De Standaard publish results of De Stemming 2022, a collaboration of VUB Brussels School of Governance and University of Antwerp

Following prior editions in 2020 and 2021, VUB Brussels School of Governance professor Jonas Lefevere once again collaborated with Stefaan Walgrave (University of Antwerp) to conduct a large scale public opinion survey for VRT NWS and De Standaard. The study consists of an annual investigation of Flemish people’s political views, including their voting behaviour, evaluation of government performance, and views on political issues. Moreover, the study also addresses several contemporary issues, including the war in Ukraine and the ongoing energy crisis. The first study results were published on 5 May on the VRT NWS website and in De Standaard, with more insights to follow in the coming days:

• VRT NWS - Helft van de Vlamingen wil Russische gaskraan dicht, ook als dat meer kost
• VRT NWS - BEKIJK – Hoe kijkt Vlaming naar oorlog in Oekraïne? Ivan De Vadder trekt eerste conclusies uit De Stemming
• De Standaard - Koopkracht boven alles: Vlaming eist lagere prijzen
• De Standaard - Bijna een op drie Vlamingen wil leger naar Oekraïne sturen
• De Standaard - Zelfs linkse kiezers verwelkomen liever Oekraïense dan Syrische vluchtelingen

The full report will be made available in the coming weeks. The full data relating to the 2022 edition will be published in June 2022. Note that the data for the 2020 and 2021 editions are already available for public use on the DANS Easy public repository (2020 data, 2021 data).
