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….
