The War on Terror – the bottom line / UK Polling Report, 31 Aug 2006

"There has been some too and froing in the Spectator over the YouGov poll a fortnight ago on the War on Terror. Matthew Parris wrote (subscription only) that he didn’t believe the results and raised some questions over the wording and Allister Heath’s original article (also subscription only). Allister hits back, defending his interpretation of the poll. To try and get to the bottom of this YouGov have carried out some more detailed questions to try and get a proper idea of exactly what people do think about the war on terror (the full tables are here)
The original YouGov poll for the Spectator asked people to choose between two statements – either “we are in a world war against Islamic terrorists who threaten the West’s way of life” or “Islamic terrorism is a regional problem that holds no real threat to the West”. YouGov have now broken the question down into a number of more specific questions." Download full tables HERE.
