What this does not tell us
- A gap is an association in the official table. It is not evidence that culture, policy, or personal choice caused the difference.
- CivicNZ does not invent an official adjusted gap or an explained share when Stats NZ did not publish one.
- GSS estimates have sampling error. Small groups move more.
- A fall in trust is an association with the survey year. It is not a verdict on any party or minister.
