You’re running the kids’ course. There were parallel results in the December
2005 ABC poll in which 71% rated their lives in the “good” range, with this
methodology:
“NHK and Der Spiegel by Oxford Research International. Interviews were
conducted Oct. 8-Nov. 22, 2005, in person, in Arabic and Kurdish, among a
random national sample of 1,711 Iraqis age 15 and up. The results have a
2.5-point error margin. Details of the survey methodology are available
upon request. This analysis examines regions where different groups
predominate, based primarily on data from the February 2004 Iraq poll.
Predominantly Shiite Arab provinces were identified as Basra, Kerbala,
Missan, Najaf, Qadissiyah and Wassit, all in the South. Predominantly Sunni
Arab provinces are Anbar, Diyala, Ninewa and Salah Al-Din. Mixed provinces
are Babil, Baghdad and Tameem, and predominantly Kurdish provinces in the
North are Dokuhk, Erbil and Suleymaniya.”
