民研計劃發放五大行政會議成員評分
特別宣佈
香港民意研究計劃（香港民研）前身為香港大學民意研究計劃（港大民研）。公報內的「民研計劃」指的可以是香港民研或其前身港大民研。
公報簡要
民研計劃於八月底至九月初由真實訪問員以隨機抽樣電話訪問方式，分兩階段成功訪問了508和500名香港居民。最新結果顯示，對比六個月前，市民最熟悉的行政會議非官守議員沒有太大改變。論絕對評分，首位是葉劉淑儀，得31.0分；排第二位的是陳智思，評分為29.5分；而位列第三至第五位的是湯家驊、葉國謙及張宇人，評分分別為26.8、26.7及26.6分。而陳智思的評分創其2005年有紀錄以來新低。評分調查的實效回應比率為55.8%。在95%置信水平下，調查的百分比誤差不超過+/-4%，評分誤差不超過+/-3.3。
樣本資料

500 (包括244個固網及256個手機樣本) |
| 實效回應比率 | ： | 61.4% | 55.8% |

| 加權方法 | ： | 按照政府統計處提供的統計數字以「反覆多重加權法」作出調整。全港人口年齡及性別分佈統計數字來自《二零一九年年中人口數字》，而教育程度（最高就讀程度）及經濟活動身分統計數字則來自《香港的女性及男性 - 主要統計數字》（2019年版）。 | |
[1] 數字為調查的總樣本數目，個別題目則可能只涉及次樣本。有關數字請參閱下列數表內列出的樣本數目。
[2] 此公報中所有誤差數字均以95%置信水平計算。95%置信水平，是指倘若以不同隨機樣本重複進行有關調查100次，則95次各自計算出的誤差範圍會包含人口真實數字。由於調查數字涉及抽樣誤差，傳媒引用百分比數字時，應避免使用小數點，在引用評分數字時，則可以使用一個小數點。

提名調查顯示，最多被訪者提及的議員是葉劉淑儀、陳智思和湯家驊，提名比率分別為34%、15%及14%。然後是張宇人、葉國謙、林正財和任志剛，提名比率分別為7%、5%、4%及4%。然而，11%錯誤回答行政會議非官守議員名字，55%則表示未有認知。
獲得提名次數最多的6名議員進入評分調查。在評分調查中，被訪者就個別議員以0至100分進行評分，0分代表絕對不支持，100分代表絕對支持，50分為一半半。統計結果後，認知度最低的一名議員再被剔除，之後再按支持度由高至低順序排列，得出五大行政會議成員。以下是五大行政會議成員的最新評分，按評分倒序排列[5]：

[9] 該數字與上次調查結果的差異超過在95%置信水平的抽樣誤差，表示有關變化在統計學上表面成立。不過，變化在統計學上成立與否，並不等同有關變化是否有實際用途或意義，而不同調查的加權方法亦可能有所不同。
最新評分調查顯示，市民對行政會議非官守議員的最新支持度排名，首位是葉劉淑儀，得31.0分；排第二位的是陳智思，評分為29.5分；而位列第三至第五位的是湯家驊、葉國謙及張宇人，評分分別為26.8、26.7及26.6分。市民對排名首五位行政會議非官守議員的平均分為28.1分。在最新調查中，林正財得30.1分，但由於認知率較低而被剔除。而陳智思的評分創其2005年有紀錄以來新低。
民意日誌
民研計劃於2007年開始與慧科訊業有限公司合作，由慧科訊業按照民研計劃設計的分析方法，將每日大事記錄傳送至民研計劃，經民研計劃核實後成為「民意日誌」。
由於本新聞公報所涉及的調查項目，上次調查日期為19-20/3/2020，而今次調查日期則為2-4/9/2020，因此是次公報中的「民意日誌」項目便以上述日期為依歸，讓讀者作出比較。以涵蓋率不下25%本地報章每日頭條新聞和報社評論計，在上述期間發生的相關大事包括以下事件，讀者可以自行判斷有關事件有否影響各項民調數字：

Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute Press Conference – Press Materials
Press Conference Live
Press Release on September 22, 2020
POP releases ratings of top 5 Executive Councillors
Special Announcement
The predecessor of Hong Kong Public Opinion Program (HKPOP) was The Public Opinion Programme at The University of Hong Kong (HKUPOP). “POP” in this release can refer to HKPOP or its predecessor HKUPOP.
Abstract
POP successfully interviewed 508 and 500 Hong Kong residents in a two-stage random telephone survey conducted by real interviewers from late August to early September. Latest results show that compared to six months ago, people’s most familiar non-official Executive Councillors have not changed much. In terms of absolute ratings, Regina Ip was the most popularly supported councillor, attaining 31.0 marks. Bernard Chan ranked 2nd, with 29.5 marks. The 3rd to 5th ranks went to Ronny Tong, Ip Kwok-him and Tommy Cheung, who attained 26.8, 26.7 and 26.6 marks respectively. The rating of Bernard Chan has registered an all-time record low since 2005. The effective response rate of the rating survey is 55.8%. The maximum sampling error of percentages is +/-4% and that of ratings is +/-3.3 at 95% confidence level.

| Naming stage | Rating stage | ||
| Date of survey | : | 31/8-1/9/2020 | 2-4/9/2020 |
| Sample size[1] | : | 508 (including 255 landline and 253 mobile samples) | 500 (including 244 landline and 256 mobile samples) |
| Effective response rate | : | 61.4% | 55.8% |
| Survey method | : | Random telephone survey conducted by real interviewers | |
| Target population | : | Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong residents aged 18 or above | |
| Sampling error[2] | : | Sampling error of percentages not more than +/-4% and that of ratings not more than +/-3.3 at 95% conf. level | |
| Weighting method | : | Rim-weighted according to figures provided by the Census and Statistics Department. The gender-age distribution of the Hong Kong population came from “Mid-year population for 2019”, while the educational attainment (highest level attended) distribution and economic activity status distribution came from “Women and Men in Hong Kong - Key Statistics (2019 Edition)”. | |
[1] This figure is the total sample size of the survey. Some questions may only involve a subsample, the size of which can be found in the tables below.
[2] All error figures in this release are calculated at 95% confidence level. “95% confidence level” means that if we were to repeat a certain survey 100 times with different random samples, we would expect 95 times having the population parameter within the respective error margins calculated. Because of sampling errors, when quoting percentages, journalists should refrain from reporting decimal places, whereas one decimal place can be used when quoting rating figures.
Latest Figures
In the naming survey, respondents could name, unprompted, up to 5 non-official Executive Councillors whom they knew best. The findings of the naming survey are summarized below, in descending order of naming rates [3]:

[3] If the rounded figures are the same, numbers after the decimal point will be considered.
[4] Before March 2020, weighted count was used to report subsample size. Starting from March 2020, raw count was used instead.
The naming survey showed that Regina Ip, Bernard Chan and Ronny Tong were named most frequently with naming rates of 34%, 15% and 14% respectively. Tommy Cheung, Ip Kwok-him, Lam Ching-choi and Joseph Yam followed, with naming rates of 7%, 5%, 4% and 4% respectively. However, 11% made a wrong attempt at citing non-official Executive Councillors while 55% had no clue.
Those 6 who were named most frequently then entered the rating survey. In the rating survey, respondents were asked to rate individual councillors using a 0-100 scale, where 0 indicates absolutely no support, 100 indicates absolute support and 50 means half-half. After calculation, the bottom 1 councillor in terms of recognition rate was dropped; the remaining 5 were then ranked according to their support ratings to become the top 5 Executive Councillors. Recent ratings of the top 5 Executive Councillors are summarized below, in descending order of their ratings [5]:
| Date of survey | 8-11/4/19 | 3-4/9/19 | 19-20/3/20 | 2-4/9/20 | Latest change | |

[5] If the rounded figures are the same, numbers after the decimal point will be considered.
[6] Before March 2020, weighted count was used to report subsample size. Starting from March 2020, raw count was used instead.
[7] Numbers in curly brackets { } indicate the rankings.
[8] Recognition rates were comparatively low in the rating survey.
[9] The difference between the figure and the result from the previous survey has gone beyond the sampling error at 95% confidence level, meaning that the change is statistically significant prima facie. However, whether the difference is statistically significant is not the same as whether they are practically useful or meaningful, and different weighting methods could have been applied in different surveys.
The latest rating survey showed that Regina Ip was the most popularly supported non-official Executive Councillor, attaining 31.0 marks. Bernard Chan ranked 2nd, with 29.5 marks. The 3rd to 5th ranks went to Ronny Tong, Ip Kwok-him and Tommy Cheung, who attained 26.8, 26.7 and 26.6 marks respectively. The mean score obtained by these top 5 non-official Executive Councillors was 28.1 marks. In this latest survey, Lam Ching-choi obtained a support rating of 30.1 marks, but he was dropped due to his relatively low recognition rate. The rating of Bernard Chan has registered an all-time record low since 2005.
Opinion Daily
In 2007, POP started collaborating with Wisers Information Limited whereby Wisers supplies to POP a record of significant events of that day according to the research method designed by POP. These daily entries would then become “Opinion Daily” after they are verified by POP.
For the polling items covered in this press release, the previous survey was conducted from 19 to 20 March, 2020 while this survey was conducted from 2 to 4 September, 2020. During this period, herewith the significant events selected from counting newspaper headlines and commentaries on a daily basis and covered by at least 25% of the local newspaper articles. Readers can make their own judgment if these significant events have any impacts to different polling figures.
