BALTIC SURVEYS LTD. (GALLUP) TO HOLD EXIT-POLLS ON
FEBRUARY 19
YEREVAN, JANUARY 12, ARMENPRESS: The Baltic Surveys
Ltd. (Gallup) will hold exit-polls in Armenia on
February 19 when Armenians will go to polling stations
to elect their next president.
The exit polls will be part of a study commissioned
by the US-based International Republic Institute in
2006. It is called "Armenia National Study" and is
being carried out in Armenia by the Vilnius-based
Baltic Surveys Ltd. / Gallup Organization with the
assistance of the Armenian Sociological Association.
`The Armenian National Study is designed to be a
neutral, objective mechanism to assist political
parties in Armenia to better understand and respond to
the major political, economic and social concerns of
Armenian citizens,' the US embassy said.
A total of seven quarterly opinion polls have been
carried out since May, 2006. The most recent poll was
taken in early December, 2007. An eighth and final
poll is scheduled for mid-January, 2008.
To ensure anonymity and objectivity of the opinion
poll, the Baltic Surveys Ltd. / Gallup Organization
uses a random sampling methodology that is the
mainstay of reputable Western polling organizations.
IRI has shared the poll results, including specific
information on respective political parties, with
party representatives. The results of all seven polls
conducted since May 2006, including more general
information on the major political, economic, and
social issues, are free for public examination on the
IRI website (www.iri.org).
Neither the United States government, the
International Republican Institute nor Baltic Surveys
Ltd. / Gallup Organization endorses any particular
party or candidate. Non-party specific results are
made public; candidate and party results are shared
with the appropriate political parties, the U.S.
embassy in Yerevan said.
