Arab Barometer
The Arab Barometer is a research project that produces scientifically reliable data on the politically-relevant attitudes of citizens in the Middle East and North Africa.[1][2][3] Since 2006, the project has conducted 29 surveys over three waves covering 14 countries in the region.[4][5][6]
The project is organized through a partnership between Princeton University, the University of Michigan, and the Arab Reform Initiative.[7] Results are based on face-to-face interviews using multi-stage probability sampling to select respondents eighteen years of age or older.[8][9]
