Description

English

De Stemming / L’Enquête Nationale 2026 (DSEN26) is an online survey conducted among a sample of N=5,354 adult (18 years and older) residents of Belgium: 1,083 residents of the Brussels Capital Region, 2,145 of the Flemish Region, and 2,126 of the Walloon Region. The survey was developed by Stefaan Walgrave (University of Antwerp), Jean-Benoît Pilet (ULB) and Jonas Lefevere (University of Antwerp) at the request of VRT NWS, RTBF and De Standaard, with the aim of analysing Belgian public opinion. Topics covered in the survey include respondents' political opinions and preferences, their policy preferences, and general attitudes towards democracy and politics in general. The 2026 survey focused on the (change in) assessment of the federal government, attitudes toward the international security context, and voters’ views on government spending cuts.
