NW Poll

Holiday Socializing

December 6, 2020 by PEMCO Insurance

According to the 2020 PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll, 72% of residents in the Seattle and Portland metro areas are seeing their friends less often as a safety measure against the COVID-19 virus. But when it comes to getting together with extended family members, more than half (55%) reported seeing them as much, if not more, since the pandemic began. How about you? How often do you see friends and family?

About the PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll

PEMCO Insurance commissioned this independent survey, conducted by FBK Research of Seattle, that asked Washington and Oregon residents questions about driving habits and attitudes toward current Northwest issues. The sample size, 578 respondents in Washington and 427 in Oregon, yields an accuracy of +/- 4.2 and 4.8% respectively at the 95% confidence level. In other words, if this study were conducted 100 times, in 95 instances the data will not vary by more than the associated error range.

Supplemental interviews were conducted with people living in the Seattle metro area, including King, Snohomish and Pierce counties, and those in the Portland metro area, including Clackamas, Marion, Multnomah and Washington counties. The sample size, 578 respondents in the Seattle area and 509 in the Portland area, yields an accuracy of +/- 4.2% and +/- 4.4% respectively at the 95% confidence level.
