International Republican Institute
Survey of Tunisian Public Opinion
February 12-22, 2014
Detailed Methodology• The survey was conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute, by Tunisian owned and operated
marketing research firm, ELKA Consulting under the supervision of David Williams from Williams and Associatesof Salem, Massachusetts.
• Data was collected February 12-22, 2014, using in-person, face-to-face methodology by trained professional interviewers.
• The sample was 1,232 adult Tunisians aged 18 and older.
• Interviewer were conducted using a multi-stage stratification proportionate to population sample distribution.
• Stratification was based on three stages: a proportional division among Tunisia’s 24 governorates, proportional division of urban and rural categories, and proportional division by gender and age group according to the most up-to-date data from Tunisia’s National Statistics Institute collected in July 2009. The sample was then post-weighted to make it proportionate to national representation by province.
• Each of Tunisia’s 24 governorates was divided into territorial sections or districts. In every territorial section at least one point of survey was selected with the overall number of points determined by population density. In every point of survey, interviewers were called to do no more than 10 interviews. Points of survey were distributed proportionally between rural and urban areas in every governorate and in every geographical section of the governorate. Points of survey in a territorial section within a governorate were selected randomly.
• The Kish method was used to select respondents 18 years and older within randomly selected households. The left-hand method was used to select every third household in localities selected through an area probability sample.
• The overall margin of error is plus or minus 2.84 percent at the midrange of the 95 percent confidence level.
• The information in this report has been compiled in accordance with international standards for market and social research methodologies.
• Figures in charts and tables may not sum to 100 percent due to rounding.
• This poll was conducted with support from the Middle East Partnership Initiative.

I have trouble feeding myself and my family and buying even the most essential things for survival.
I have enough means for survival, but I do not have enough money for extra things.
I am able to afford things like new clothes and eating at restaurants, but not very often.
I am able to afford things like new clothes and eating out and also support other members of my family who cannot.
