Iran Opinion Poll

Key findings from national telephone survey of 702 Iranians
between August 30 and Sept 7, 2010 include:

• Iranians divided on government’s performance.
• Dissatisfied with economy.
• Worry over sanctions and isolation.
• Want to focus on domestic affairs.
• Favor closer ties to the West.
• Rising tensions sparked hostility toward the US, Europe
and UN.
• Favor nuclear arms and do not want to back deals to
halt enrichment.
• Independent polls do not contradict official turnout of 2009
election, which gave around 60% of vote to Ahmadinejad.
• Support to religious institutions remains substantial but majority
expect democratization.
