Summary

The Global Attitudes Project, Spring 2009, 25 Nation Survey is a cross-national survey of attitudes on global issues. Topics include politics, social issues, globalization, life satisfaction, and religion. Respondents also were surveyed on their views of the role of the United States in the world and on their impressions of well-known leaders (Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin, etc.)

This survey was conducted both before and after President Barack Obama's speech in Cairo, Egypt on June 4, 2009. These data allow opportunities to examine the extent to which global opinions changed after this speech.

The ARDA has added two additional variables to the original data set to enhance the users' experience on our site.

Note on Weights

It is important to read this information before using the 2009 Pew Global Attitudes Survey dataset because full surveys in Israel and the Palestinian territories were conducted both before and after President Barack Obama's June 4th Cairo speech.

The weight that must be used when looking to analyze the attitudes and opinions of the general populations is WEIGHT .

To analyze opinions before and after the Cairo Speech in Israel and the Palestinian territories, weight by PREPSTWT. Once this weight is applied, use the filter variable named prepost to run cross-tabulations to compare attitudes before and after the speech.

(PLEASE NOTE: For analysis of the total populations in these two countries -- weight by the variable WEIGHT.)

In Israel, there was an oversample of Arabs bringing the total number of Arab respondents to 527. To analyze Arabs in Israel, filter for Arabs (select if Q98ISR = 2). Weight by WEIGHT for this analysis.
