It's a representative study, done by a major institute for opinion research[1][2], comissioned by a major newspaper[3][4].

It is a renowned institute but I am not sure if 1283 people are enough for being representative. But most importantly you have to read the question carefully. It includes people not stating a controversial opinion to avoid an argument. Therefore the poll is vulnerable for misterpretation.
