Since 1986 the SOM-institute has been carrying out an annual nation-wide survey of Swedish opinions. This is accordingly the nineteenth survey in this series. The SOM-institute is a collaboration between three departments at Göteborg University: the Institute for Journalism and Mass Communication, the Department of Political Science, and the School of Public Administration.

The questionnaire on politics include twelve different subject fields: news; politics and society; the surrounding world; media and possession of technical equipment; journalism and society; society, public service and democracy; animals and nature; knowledge and society; en
