We have analyzed and weighed the responses of 215,269 users of Vote Compass, created by Vox Pop Labs. Each circle represents 1 person out of 100.

The majority of Vote Compass users believe that the next federal government should establish a universal child-care program across the country, instead of giving money directly to parents.

Without much surprise, the proportion of users that are in agreement with such a national daycare program diminishes with age. Those who are between the ages of 18 and 24 are the most interested.

This issue is also more important for women. Six out of 10 are in favour of a universal child care program, compared with five out of 10 men.

The idea of helping first-time homebuyers is accepted by almost the majority of users (48 per cent).

But, there are noticeable differences when comparing age.

Two-thirds of 18-to-34-year-olds would like more federal assistance.

Users who are older prefer the status quo.

Quebec is the only province in which a majority of users want more financial help for first-time homebuyers.

This is more than in Ontario and British Columbia, even though property values are much higher in those provinces.

Regarding employment insurance, four out of 10 users believe that it should be easier for a Canadian to qualify for benefits.

However, almost half of users believe the rules should not be changed.

There are strong differences of opinion when comparing voters' intentions.

Half of users who are thinking about voting for the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party and the People's Party agree that eligibility criteria should stay the same.

Those thinking about voting for the Bloc québécois or the NDP believe it should be easier to receive EI benefits.

If users are willing to help families and first-time homebuyers, they are more split when it comes to implementing a guaranteed minimum income for all Canadians, whether they are employed or not.

Although four out of 10 users believe the government should implement such an initiative, four out of 10 users are against it.

Divergence of opinion is much more apparent when comparing voting intentions.

More than six out of 10 users who are thinking about voting for the NDP or the Green Party want Ottawa to implement a guaranteed minimum income. The two parties have included this idea in their campaign platforms.

On the other hand, the vast majority of those who are considering voting for the Conservative Party or the People's Party reject this idea.

Users were also asked if tax rates should be increased, possibly as a way to fund some of these programs. More than seven out of 10 users believe wealthier Canadians should pay more taxes.

Vote Compass users with a family income over $120,000 are not as enthusiastic about this proposition, but the majority of them are in favour of it.

An overwhelming majority of users who are considering voting for the NDP or the Green Party would like to see wealthier Canadians taxed more. Liberal and Bloc supporters are not far behind.

However, those thinking about voting for the People's Party are divided on the issue. There is large number of users who are considering casting their vote for the Conservatives that would like to see wealthier people taxed more, but they are not the majority.

A large majority of Vote Compass users are not only in favour of wealthy people paying more taxes, they also believe large corporations should be taxed at a higher rate.
