The importance of the factors for supporting a particular leader are measured on a scale from 1 (respondents disagree strongly) to 7 (respondents agree strongly). For each of the five factors, the first column, “High,” displays the share of respondents answering with a “6” or “7,” thus indicating a high degree of importance for this factor. The second column, “Low,” displays the share of respondents answering with a “1” or “2,” thus indicating a low degree of importance for this factor
