draw competitions run in the UAE to understand a little more about who takes
part and what they may want from such draws in the future. We polled a
representative sample of 1,000 UAE residents in October 2020 and discovered
that 83% are either very or somewhat interested in participating in lucky
draws, specifically the Big Ticket Abu Dhabi Duty Free or the Dubai Duty Free
Millennium Millionaire draws. (YouGov) December 12, 2020 4.16 Society » Entertainment |

670-03 Many Ugandans question value of elections in ensuring representation and
accountability, Afrobarometer survey shows (Click for
Details) (Uganda) Substantial proportions of
Uganda’s electorate don’t see voting as an effective way to ensure that their
views are represented and to hold leaders accountable, the latest
Afrobarometer survey shows. And almost half say that communities that don’t
vote for the ruling party may suffer negative consequences. While the share
of citizens who say elections enable voters to remove non-performing leaders
has grown to a majority, almost four in 10 still disagree. (Afrobarometer) December 21, 2020 1.1 Domestic Politics » Elections |

670-05 1 in 10 will celebrate Christmas alone - this is how Swedes think about
Christmas
(Click
for Details) (Sweden) That Christmas 2020
goes down in history as a different Christmas in the shadow of the pandemic
is a fact. 7 out of 10 say that this year's Christmas celebration is
different compared to previous Christmases and 3 out of 10 feel more alone.
E-commerce, on the other hand, appears to be increasing sharply. Stricter restrictions and the call to be
outdoors or gather the family in a digital celebration have set many
traditions and Christmas plans in motion. (Origo Group) December 14, 2020 4.13 Society » Social Problems |

670-06 Christmas in the times of corona (Click for Details) (Netherlands) In 2019, 92% of the
Dutch celebrated Christmas. That was the highest score in eight years of
research: Christmas peaked like never before. These Christmas celebrants were
in a company of an average of eleven other people, mainly from their own
immediate family circle. After all, together with Easter, Christmas in the
Netherlands is the family celebration par excellence. Supermarkets also know
that very well. In recent weeks, they have only reinforced this image with
their traditional and very sweet TV commercials. Christmas has to be tinkered
with, especially in times of corona. (Motivaction) December 28, 2020 4.11 Society » Health |

the foundations of the Christian religion and beliefs. A YouGov study on the
perception of Christian religious holidays has looked into how familiar
Britons are with the Biblical accounts of events celebrated on Christmas and
Easter, whether they believe them to be accurate, and what they think about
the identity of Jesus Christ. (YouGov) December

670-09 Two thirds of students want to return to university after the Christmas
break (Click for Details) (UK) New YouGov data shows that despite much
negative coverage around students’ experiences during the pandemic, most
would like to return to university rather than stay at their home outside
term-time once Christmas is over.
About half of students (53%) say they would like to come back to
university and be taught in-person or in-person and online. Another one in
eight (13%) want to return but be taught entirely online, while a quarter
(26%) would prefer to stay home and attend classes virtually. (YouGov) December

670-11 What’s the legacy of this year’s Black Lives Matter protests? (Click for Details) (UK) The murder of George Floyd triggered mass
protests on both sides of the Atlantic this spring, bringing the Black Lives
Matter (BLM) movement to new prominence. YouGov research shows that while
some view the movement as controversial, it did create awareness and spark
conversations about racism. For one, nearly all Britons (87%) regardless of
ethnicity know who George Floyd was and why his name appeared in the news. (YouGov) December

670-12 Is Marriage Becoming Irrelevant?
(Click for Details) (USA) Americans are less inclined now than in
recent years to see marriage as critical for couples who have children
together or for couples who plan to spend the rest of their lives together.
Most U.S. adults have been married at some point in their lives, but those
figures are declining. Still, the vast majority of adults who have never been
married remain interested in getting married someday. (Gallup USA) December

have braved exposure to the coronavirus to provide lifesaving care, Americans
have become more likely to laud the honesty and ethics of nurses, medical
doctors and pharmacists. Still, nurses remain the undisputed leader, as they
have been for nearly two decades. (Gallup USA)

Prevention has cautioned Americans to avoid holiday travel this year because
of the COVID-19 outbreak. And while it’s not yet clear how many Americans
will heed that advice for the upcoming Christmas holiday, more than half

have been key to Georgia’s registered voter growth since 2016 (Click for Details) (USA) Following Joe Biden’s narrow presidential
win in Georgia, early voting is underway in the state’s Jan. 5 runoff
election for two U.S. Senate seats, races that will determine whether both
chambers of Congress are led by Democrats during the first years of the new
administration. Once a reliably Republican state, Georgia has received much
attention for the increasing racial and ethnic diversity of eligible voters
in the state, which has highlighted the importance of Black voters and other
fast-growing groups like Latino and Asian voters. (PEW) December

(USA) In the four years of the Trump Administration, more Americans have
become convinced that Russia is not just an unfriendly nation but is now an
enemy of the United States. That’s not just because of the belief (held by
both the Secretary of State and the Attorney General but not by the
President) that Russia was responsible for an extensive cyberattack on U.S.
government and corporate computer systems, the scope of which is not yet
completely known. (YouGov) December

More than 40% of the world's inhabitants are optimistic
about 2021
The global optimism index stood at 19
percentage points, reaching its highest in three years. The most optimistic countries in 2020 were
Nigeria (69 pp), Indonesia (66 pp) and Azerbaijan (65 pp). The UK, which
for the first time in a long time left the minus zone a year ago, continues
to show an increase in optimistic sentiment from 39 p.p. The leaders in
terms of optimism also include the United States, Finland, Kyrgyzstan and
India. Austria, Germany, Mexico and North Macedonia were close to the
global level. Italy (-43 p.p.) and Hong Kong (-34
p.p.) traditionally became the countries with the most pessimistic citizens
about the coming year, Bulgaria (-29 p.p.) joined them in 2020. Poland
(-32 p.p.) and the Czech Republic (-19 p.p.) were pessimistic. Thailand,
Serbia, South Korea, Turkey and Russia were also in the negative zone with
-13 pp, while among Russians, almost half (45%) do not expect significant
changes in the coming year, and another 16% are optimistic. As noted in the study, polarization in
the "happiness index" has no relationship with the level of per
capita income. "Despite the global growth of the index, the
polarization of countries in terms of optimism is obvious. Developing
countries traditionally believe that the coming year will bring more
positive, and many developed countries of Europe, faced with serious
restrictions this spring, see no reason for optimism," he commented on
the results of the study vice-president of Gallup International, president of
"Romir" and founder of Mile Group, doctor of sociological sciences
Andrey Milekhin. The international association of
independent research agencies Gallup International, in the framework of the
annual global survey "End of the Year", asks respondents around the
world the traditional question about their expectations for the coming year:
what will it be - better, worse or like the previous one. In November-December,
more than 38 thousand people in 41 countries answered the questions of
researchers, whose opinion can be extrapolated to all inhabitants of the
Earth. The exclusive representative of the association in Russia and the
CIS countries is the Romir holding. (TASS
