Controversial Poll by World Pubic Opinion: Ahmadinejad is Legitimate

Fars News has published the results of a poll of the Iranians’ opinions on a number of issues, including the controversial presidential elections. The pool is done by “World Public Opinion“* and seems to indicate that over 80% of the Iranians consider Ahmadinejad the legitimate president of Iran.


Review of the detailed report on the poll (PDF) shows that there a number of severe concerns concerning the quality of the results. Among these issues are,

A total of 1,003 interviews were completed; the interview refusal rate was 52 percent. …one in four respondents refused to answer the question about who they voted for in the presidential election… …Asked how they would vote if the election were held again, half say they would vote for Ahmadinejad…. * The Wikipedia page for “World Public Opinion” states, This article is written like an advertisement. Please help rewrite this article from a neutral point of view. For blatant advertising that would require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic.
