    Simply look at the ratio of business owners versus employees . It is about 520000 businesses for 2.2 million employes.
    Add on 1.2 millions retirees to the 2.2 million . That is 3.4 million people . Versus 520000. That is a ratio of 1 business owner for 6.5
    people.
    In pourcentage: that is 15% of business owners versus 85% of employees plus retirees.
    I am not sure there are many business owners enjoying having their business closed at the moment.they could be represented in blue.
    Among the retirée there are probably some ex business owners who are a bit worried about the economic situation.But maybe most would be concerned by catching the covid 19 . And they are still getting paid their little pension.(red proportion)
    And not every employees is happy to be in lock down, specially for those who are going or already lost their job, but a lot of employees are not too worried about the situation because so far they have received the govt subsidies. ( red proportion)

    So the survey could really well represent the positions of the different layers of social classes.

    Now imagine , if we were getting back in confinement at level 4 in 6 months time , but then the govt was saying sorry, we have to cut pensions in half and we have no more money for the subsidies for businesses nor employees during the confinement. How do you think the polls would turn out to be like?
