How did they vote?
Around election days, I identify a large number of voter characteristics via Peil.nl. I compare that to voting behavior. This way you get the election result for each subclass, so to speak. Not just demographics, like how men voted and how women voted, but also characteristics like media behavior (how OP1 viewers voted and how Today Inside viewers voted). It also provides the opportunity to display the relationship between car brand and voting behavior or the pet that a person has. The results are sometimes very surprising. Did you know that dog owners have distinctly different voting behavior than cat owners?
Such a study was also conducted this time. The intention was to correlate vote choice in the 2024 parliamentary elections, but this became difficult because the outcome was strongly influenced by differences in turnout between groups of voters (see this overview). Because I also conducted a House preferences poll at the same time, I have used these numbers in the tables below.
The 35 tables are divided into a number of main groups.
For each major group you will find one or more tables as well as a PDF file containing all the tables for that group.
Demographic characteristics
This is one of seven tables from this main collection. Preference for voting for the House of Representatives according to educational level. All tables must be read vertically! Colors indicate differences that do not appear to be a result of the fact that this is an investigational sample.
Here you will find the other six tables (gender, age, income, and various aspects of work and profession).

Voting behaviour
This is the table showing the relationship between selection in EP2024 and voting behavior in TK2023 for those who attended! So PVV voters in TK2023 who participated in EP2024 voted for 88% of PVV. It is also clear how voters of the VVD and NSC switched to other parties to a much greater extent than voters of other parties.
From this section, I also highlight these two clear tables:
These are all the tables from this part.

Media and the Internet
These are some interesting tables from this section
Here you will find the ten tables from this category, with both analog and digital media.

Personal preferences
This is a very interesting table from this part:
There are also interesting tables based on the brand of car you drive.
These are the other tables for, among other things, other car brands, computer ownership, whether people smoke or not and where they shop.

hobbies
Such tables have also been made for a large number of hobbies. The four tables can be found below.

Covid-19
Two questions were also asked about Covid-19. How many times people have been vaccinated and how often they think they have had COVID-19. These are the statements of the respondents themselves.
There is a significant difference in voting behavior between those who have not been vaccinated and those who have.
In light of the previous table, it is striking that those who report never or once having had Covid (both groups more than 25% of the population) show voting behavior very similar to the Dutch average. While vaccination behavior varies widely depending on political preference.
A number of additional analyzes will be conducted in the coming weeks based on the results of these studies.
