Survey Methods

CSA fielded the Lebanon Public Opinion Survey through YouGov in two rounds: 253 Lebanese adults in October 2025 (October 14 to 20) and 252 again in January 2026 (January 8 to 14). Both samples were drawn from YouGov’s online panel and weighted by age and gender to match World Bank demographic data for Lebanon. Interviews were conducted in Arabic.

The margin of sampling error for each round is approximately 5.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
