Methodology

Results for this survey are based on face-to-face interviews conducted under the direction of Zogby International. All surveys arebased on urban samples except in Lebanon where the sample was nationwide.

The tables below show the margin of sampling error based on all interviews conducted in that country. For results based on the fullsample in a given country, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling and other random effects is plus orminus the margin of error. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties inconducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
