Prof. Jonas Lefevere co-authors extensive survey on De Stemming van Vlaanderen

For a study commissioned by the Flemish public broadcaster (VRT) and the newspaper De Standaard, Prof. Jonas Lefevere (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Prof. Stefaan Walgrave (UAntwerp) conducted an extensive survey of Flemish voters in an effort to track evolutions in political opinion since the 2019 general elections in Belgium, now roughly one year ago. Because the survey was fielded in the middle of the Corona pandemic, it was decided to also include extensive measurements of attitudes towards the lockdown, government performance, and the ongoing political crisis that culminated in the formation of the minority government Wilmès.
