Statistical notes:

  1. Figures are rounded to the nearest percentage point.
  2. Figures in brackets are those with a relatively high degree of uncertainty owing to the low sample size (fewer than 500 respondents).
  3. Figures that are different at the 0.05 level of significance are marked *. Results would be statistically significant if there is less than a 1 in 20 chance of any changes being by chance if there is no actual change in the population.
