Public Opinion Survey
16 June 2026
CSA fielded the Syria Public Opinion Survey through YouGov in three rounds: 257 Syrian adults in October 2025 (October 14–21), 260 in January 2026 (January 8–15), and 252 in May–June 2026 (May 28 to June 5). All three samples were drawn from YouGov’s online panel of over 40,000 active Syrian members and weighted by age and gender to match World Bank demographic data for Syria. The full Arabic text of each question is included as an appendix to the published deck.
The margin of sampling error for each round is approximately ±5.0 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. Because the survey asks about sensitive political and security topics in a recovering state, “Prefer not to answer” responses run higher than in the U.S. or Israeli waves of CSA’s polling series, and should be read with caution.
The Council for a Secure America (CSA) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(C)(3) educational organization. CSA strengthens U.S. national security by educating on the inextricable link between U.S. energy security, national security, and diplomacy, through original research, public-opinion polling, rapid-response primers, and off-the-record briefings for policymakers, industry leaders, and civic institutions.
CSA’s work is informed by a Peace Through Prosperity framework that emphasizes the strategic importance of energy, minerals, agriculture, and resilient supply chains. The organization is not an advocacy institution and does not promote political outcomes or policy prescriptions.
