Public Opinion Polling Unit

The Public Opinion Polling Unit at CSS aims to provide information about Jordanian society based on scientific survey research. Since its establishment in 1993 the unit has conducted surveys in Jordan and the region and established partnerships with many international organizations, including the World Values Survey Organization. The unit has two major ongoing projects. The first evaluates the state of democracy in Jordan and the second measures expectations and performance of successive Jordanian governments.

The polling unit also acts as the institutional base for the Arab Barometer surveys project and the Arab Reform Initiative surveys. As part of its internal institutional cooperation, the unit conducts surveys for other units at CSS on such issues as unemployment and the climate of investment in Jordan for the Economic Studies Unit, and on Jordanian-Palestinian relations for the CSS research team.
