646-01 Urban Indians consider ‘Country of
Origin’ important but quality and price
drive purchases (Click for Details) (India) Indian origin products most likely to have a positive influence on
people’s purchase intent while Bangladeshi goods are least likely to do so.
As the government orders e-commerce players to display the country of origin
of products sold on their platforms, YouGov’s latest survey reveals three in
ten urban Indian respondents (31%) consider the Country of Origin of a
product important when buying it, but it ranks lower than other factors. The
Quality of the product (77%), its price (53%) and the brand name or the
parent brand (34%) are all notably more important when deciding what to buy. (YouGov) July 02, 2020 3.2

646-03 UAE residents
eager to return to shopping malls &

daily data shows intent to visit leisure and entertainment venues is
gradually recovering as businesses start reopening. As the UAE eases
restrictions associated with Covid19 and businesses start reopening, data
from YouGov’s daily brand tracker, BrandIndex shows
intent to visit a leisure & entertainment venue in the UAE has dropped
amidst the pandemic. Compared to 2019, the number of UAE residents who are
very or somewhat likely to visit a leisure and entertainment venue in the
next twelve months has declined ever since the country reported the first
death from the virus in March 2020. (YouGov) July 14, 2020 4.16 Society

survey shows (Click for Details) (Angola) Two-thirds of Angolans say women should be paid as much as men for
doing the same work, a new Afrobarometer survey
shows. Men are just as supportive of equal pay as women. A majority of
respondents also assert that the two genders already enjoy equality when it
comes to opportunities in education, jobs, and ownership of land. However,
women continue to lag behind men on other indicators relevant to economic
parity, including educational attainment, financial decision-making power,
and regular Internet use. (Afrobarometer) July 09, 2020 4.5 Society » Gender Issues |

646-06 How people in Poland see key aspects of their democracy ahead
of presidential election (Click for Details) (Poland) Poles will vote on
July 12 in a runoff election between incumbent President Andrzej Duda of the right-wing populist Law and Justice Party and
Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski
of the more progressive, pro-European Union Civic Platform. In the first
round of voting in June, Duda failed to win an
outright majority, while Trzaskowski earned roughly
a third of the vote. Ahead of the runoff, here is a look at how Polish people
see their democracy, international relations and social issues in the
country, based on a Pew Research Center survey conducted in 2019. (PEW) July 10, 2020 1.1 Domestic

646-07 What does the corona pandemic
mean for Swedes' health? (Click for Details)
(Sweden) YouGov has asked
Swedes to assess their overall health today compared to before the corona
pandemic (early March). A clear majority (59–61%) do not believe that the
corona pandemic has affected their physical or mental health in either a
positive or negative direction.
However, one in five Swedes (22%) believe that their physical health
has deteriorated during the corona pandemic, while 16% believe that it has
improved. Among young people aged 18–29, one in four (27%) believe that their
physical health has improved. (YouGov) July 08, 2020 4.11 Society

(Spain) The Spanish and European
authorities, as well as the tourism industry, welcome tourists from the
European or Chinese environment and do not see quarantining as necessary. A
new YouGov study shows that Spaniards and other neighboring countries clearly
oppose the measures. Given a list of countries, they were asked whether they
supported or opposed allowing tourists from certain places to enter their
territory without having to comply with a quarantine. In this sense, visitors
from China or the United States are not welcome for the majority of
Spaniards, as well as the British or Italians, if they are not forced to
carry out a period of quarantine. (YouGov) July 08, 2020 4.16

646-10 Perceptions of lockdown timings
– too fast, too slow, or about right? (Click
for Details)
(UK) Britons can be split into
5 groups according to their thoughts on the timings of lockdown. New polling
from Ipsos MORI reveals how the British public divides into five groups,
according to their different views towards the timing of the original
lockdown measures in March, and the relaxation of some of the measures in
July. The survey, taken after the announcement of the relaxation but before
the measures were actually lifted, shows that the largest grouping are the
“Earlier, longer lockdown” segment. (Ipsos MORI) July 08, 2020 4.11

646-12 Is good trade with China more important than keeping Huawei out of the 5G
network? (Click for Details)
(UK) Despite a stark warning
from the Ambassador, only 16% think Huawei should have a role in the UK 5G
network to maintain good trade with China. The Chinese Ambassador to the UK,
Ambassador Liu Xiaoming, has said the UK will “have
to bear the consequences” and that trade could suffer if Huawei is removed
from the UK 5G Network – but it seems that Brits aren’t falling for the scare
tactics. Huawei’s involvement in the UK 5G network has been a point of
contention between the UK and US due to cyber security concerns and the
alleged theft of intellectual property. (YouGov) July 08, 2020 2.11

646-13 Concern over health and the economy
are now conjoined in public opinion (Click for Details)
(UK) YouGov’s ‘top issues
tracker’ finds worry over the two concepts marching in lockstep. In late May
YouGov highlighted how concerns over the economy were beginning to rival
fears over health in our ‘most important issues tracker’. As of mid-June the
two issues seem to have become conjoined in the public mindset. On 13-15 June
the proportion of Britons naming the economy as one of the three most
important issues facing the country gained parity with health for the first
time, at 61% and 60% respectively. (YouGov) July 08, 2020 4.11

646-15 One in Four Americans Consider
Abortion a Key Voting Issue (Click for Details)
(USA) Just as Americans' general
views of abortion remain mostly steady, so too are their opinions of whether
it is a key voting issue for them. Nearly half of U.S. adults (47%) polled in
May, before the recent Supreme Court decision on abortion, say the issue will
be just one of many important factors in their vote for a candidate for a
major office; 25% do not consider it a major issue. At the same time, the 24%
of U.S. adults who say they will vote only for a candidate who shares their
views on the issue is, along with last year, significantly higher than most
other years in the trend. (Gallup

646-16 Trump's Job Approval Rating Steady at Lower Level (Click for Details)
(USA) President Donald Trump's
approval rating is holding steady at a lower level after a sharp drop in late
May and early June, with 38% of Americans currently approving of the job he
is doing. President Donald Trumps job approval
rating is 38% in the latest Gallup poll, similar to
39% in early June, but remaining down from 49% in early May. In early May,
Trump's approval tied his personal best at 49% -- before it sank amid
nationwide protests over racial injustice after the death of George Floyd.
Now his approval rating stands just three percentage points above his
personal low of 35%, registered on four separate occasions in 2017. (Gallup USA) July 06, 2020 1.2

(USA) Hispanics
have played a significant role in driving U.S. population growth over the
past decade, though the group is not growing as quickly as it once did. From
2010 to 2019, the U.S. population increased by 18.9 million, and Hispanics
accounted for more than half (52%) of this growth, according to a Pew
Research Center analysis of new U.S. Census Bureau population estimates, the
last before 2020 census figures are released. (PEW) July 10, 2020 4.4 Society » Civil Society |

646-19 Activism on gender equality
differs widely by education among Democratic women (Click for Details)
(USA) From
the right to vote to workplace protections, many of the gains
women have made throughout U.S. history have been achieved through various
forms of activism around gender equality. Despite these gains, 57% of
Americans say the country hasn’t gone far enough when it comes to gender
equality, and many say they have engaged in activism on this issue. Some 13%
of U.S. adults say they have contributed money to an organization that takes
positions on issues related to gender or gender equality, and about one-in-ten
have contacted an elected official to express their opinion on these issues
(9%) or have attended a protest or rally focused on them (8%), according to a
new Pew Research Center survey. (PEW) July 09, 2020 4.5 Society » Gender Issues |

646-21 11 million Australians visit pubs – mostly
for a good feed (Click for Details)
(Australia) New Roy Morgan data shows
that pre-COVID-19, 11 million Australians aged 14+ (52%) were visiting pubs
(hotels) for meals or for a drink in an average three months, up from 10
million four years ago. Contrary to
the image many might have of Australia’s pubs, most visitors to these
establishments (9.5 million) go primarily for food. There are also 5.2
million people who like to drop in at the local for the sole purpose of
having a drink. Of course many Australians, around 3.8 million, enjoy
visiting pubs for both of these activities at different times. (Roy Morgan) July 07, 2020 4.11

646-22 How Others See Us:
Perceptions of the UK across 36
countries (Click for Details) Research conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of the
British Council finds the UK to be the joint most attractive country overall
among young people across the 36 countries surveyed. Between 7 February and
27 March 2020, Ipsos MORI undertook a survey of 37,158 18-34 year olds with a
minimum of secondary education in 36 countries. For 19 of the 36 countries,
this was the fourth wave of research conducted among this audience by Ipsos
MORI for the British Council, with two previous waves conducted in 2016
(before and after the EU referendum) and a further wave in 2018. Trend data
has been included where possible to assess whether views of the UK have
changed over time. (Ipsos MORI) July 08, 2020 1.5 Domestic

Recent YouGov research found that 86% of
Britons trust their family doctor to tell the truth, but that doesn’t mean
they always agree with them. Our latest survey of
healthcare professionals reveals that most have had patients argue with them
over diagnoses, prescriptions and medical advice. Most have also had patients
scour the internet for a solution before seeking professional medical advice. Overall, 86% of healthcare
workers who perform diagnoses say they have had disagreements with their
patients in the past about their judgement – only 10% say they’ve never had a
patient question them on a diagnosis.
A plurality (48%) say that
disagreements with patients is a rare occurrence, but another 32% say it
happens more frequently. For 6% it’s found to be a common occurrence. When we asked the
equivalent question to the general public about disagreeing with a medical
professional, 51% said they had disagreed with a medical professional over a
diagnosis in the past – with 18% saying it had happened occasionally, and 3%
often. It’s not just the
diagnosis that problem patients are willing to argue over, however; another
78% of healthcare workers who write prescriptions for medicine and treatments
say they have had patients argue over these as well.
Arguments about
prescriptions are slightly less frequent, with 26% of healthcare professional
who provide prescriptions saying they sometimes have disagreements about
them, and another 6% saying it happens often. The numbers are similar
when it comes to medical advice, with 45% of healthcare professionals saying
they sometimes have a disagreement with a patient on the matter. Do Brits know better than their doctor? One possible explanation
for Brits arguing with their doctors is that now more than ever, they can
easily research symptoms online. And, indeed, most healthcare professionals
say that more often than not patients have done their own research before
seeing them. Over half of healthcare
professionals (58%) say they often encounter patients who have sought out
their own diagnosis online before seeing them or another medical professional
– and one in six (16%) say it happens all the time. When we asked the
equivalent question to the general public, 19% of adults said they always do
research on their condition before seeing a medical professional, and another
19% said they do so often, but not all the time – only one in ten (10%)
adults said they never look up their symptoms before heading to a
professional. Women are also more likely
to do research before seeing a medical professional, with nearly half (46%)
doing so often, compared to only 32% of men.
Approaching a quarter
(23%) of women say they research their condition every time they need to
visit a professional, compared to 16% of men who do the same. The most popular form of
research is, unsurprisingly, the internet, which 90% of adults who said they
have researched their symptoms have used. This is followed by asking the
advice of friends and family (28%), and books and medical journals (9%). (YouGov) July 09, 2020 |

Corona Studies are opening new doors for the Traditional Narrative on
what is the Professionally Legitimated Domain of Opinion and Marketing
Research. Gallup Pakistan is doing a
series of press releases based on Google Mobility Report. This report employs
state of the art technology to estimate how mobility is changing across time
in different geographies. It provides an interesting digital way of measuring
the impact of lockdown with April being the baseline. The data compiled here
suggests that around 20-40% of activity in the country on various yardsticks
is still reeling under lockdown. Gallup Pakistan plans to
continue releasing such editions based on updated data to inform policy makers how
pervasive the effects of lockdown are on the normal day-to-day life captured
by activities such as visits to supermarkets, parks, workplaces etc. In
future issues, we intend to add to the debate on how and to what extent the
lockdown is being adhered to in Pakistan compared to other countries,
specifically those in similar regions and socio-economic classifications.
Note: The data is not produced by Gallup Pakistan, but is
developed by and publicly available at Google Mobility Reports. The
interpretation and analysis on the data is conducted under the Big Data Analysis initiative of
Gallup Pakistan. (Gallup Pakistan) July 07, 2020 |

New Roper Center Resource:
Black Americans’ Public Opinion and Historical Polling Overview Protests against racism in response to recent events in the
U.S. have drawn attention in numerous countries around the world. For those
researchers interested in U.S. public opinion on these issues over time, the Roper Center has identified and is
making available more than eight decades of public opinion data on how the
U.S. public views Black America as well as how public opinion in other
countries viewed the U.S. during the Civil Rights Movement. These data
provide historical insight into how racial attitudes have changed in the
United States and how the public currently views topics such as police brutality,
race relations, and Black Lives Matter. The Roper Center has also identified
and is making available all public opinion surveys of Black Americans in the
Roper data archive. You can see the resources we have developed and the full
collection here. If you are not affiliated with a Roper Center member
organization, contact Data Services to request access. We hope that these
resources will be useful to WAPOR members. (Roper Center) July 09, 2020 |
