Transatlantic Trends

Topline Data 2008

TECHNICAL NOTE Transatlantic Trends 2008 is a project of the German Marshall Fund of the United States and the Compagnia di San Paolo (Italy) with additional support from the Luso-American Foundation (Portugal), Fundación BBVA (Spain) and the Tipping Point Foundation (Bulgaria). Fieldwork The fieldwork was coordinated by TNS opinion. Interviews were conducted between 04/06/2008 and 24/06/2008 by these 13 TNS opinion institutes: Germany - TNS EMNID - Bielefeld France – TNS Sofres – Paris Italy – DOXA - Milan Netherlands – TNS NIPO – Amsterdam Portugal – TNS EUROTESTE - Lisbon Spain – TNS Demoscopia - Madrid United Kingdom – ICM – London Poland – TNS OBOP – Warsaw Slovakia – TNS SK s.r.o. - Bratislava Turkey – TNS PIAR – Istanbul Bulgaria – TNS BBSS - Sofia Romania – TNS CSOP - Bucharest USA – Leger Marketing - Montreal Each national sample is representative of the population aged 18 years and above. The sample sizes amount to approximately 1000 respondents in each country. Germany: 1000 France: 1001 Italy: 1000 Netherlands: 1000 Portugal: 1000 Spain: 1004 United Kingdom: 1001 Poland: 1000 Slovakia: 1016 Turkey: 1000 Bulgaria: 1000 Romania: 1000 USA: 1000 Methodology: Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (except in Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania where face-to-face interviews were conducted due to the low telephone penetration rate in these five countries). The basic sample design applied in all states is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random (following the "closest birthday rule"). Up to 8 call-backs for telephone interviews and 4 visits for faceto-face interviews were attempted before dropping a potential respondent.

NOTE TO READERS The summary topline report shows results for each of the 13 countries surveyed: • USA • FR = France • GER = Germany • UK= The United Kingdom • IT = Italy • NL = The Netherlands • PL = Poland • PT = Portugal • SP = Spain • SK = Slovakia • TR = Turkey • BG = Bulgaria • RO = Romania Results for Europe as a whole are also indicated. In order to compare with the previous results, we have processed 4 separate totals for the results of Europe: • • • • •

Europe 7: Results for “Europe” based on seven European countries: United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland and Portugal surveyed in 2008 (also surveyed in 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003). Europe 10: Results for “Europe” based on the 10 European countries surveyed in 2008 (Europe 7 plus Slovakia, Spain and Turkey - also surveyed in 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004). Europe 9: Results for “Europe” based on the 9 European countries surveyed in 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 (Europe 10 minus Turkey). Europe 12: Results for “Europe” based on the 12 European countries surveyed. Europe 11: Results for “Europe” based on the 11 European countries surveyed in 2008 (Europe 12 minus Turkey).

The figures given for Europe are weighted on the basis of the adult population in each of the European countries. Where available, data from the “Transatlantic Trends 2007”, “Transatlantic Trends 2006”, “Transatlantic Trends 2005”, “Transatlantic Trends 2004”, “Transatlantic Trends 2003” surveys and the “Worldviews 2002” survey are provided. For purposes of comparison, figures are shown below the 2008 corresponding figure in italic. The results of Worldviews 2002 are based on the 6 European countries surveyed (United Kingdom, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Poland). In order to simplify the presentation of the results, they have been included in the column Europe 7. All figures except for question 3 are expressed in percentage terms. In questions where [Europe\the United States] or [European Union\the United States] figures, the former item is asked in Europe and the latter in the United States. Due to the rounding off of the results, in certain tables the figures representing a sum of results can differ by +/- one point compared to the actual sum of individual results. For the results based on the total sample in each of the thirteen countries, one can say with 95% confidence that the margin of error attributable to sampling and other random effects is plus or minus three percentage points. For results based on the total European sample, the margin of error is plus or minus one percentage point.
