ASDA’A Burson-Marsteller Arab Youth Survey 2016
Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept: Young Iraqis overwhelmingly Consider The U.S> Their Enemy, Poll Says
MORE THAN 90 PERCENT of young people in Iraq consider the United States to be an enemy of their country, according to a new poll.
After years spent justifying the war as a “liberation” of the Iraqi people, the survey casts further doubt on the success of that endeavor.
The poll was conducted by Penn Schoen Berland, a public relations and market research firm co-founded by controversial strategist Mark Penn, and was sponsored by a Dubai-based affiliate of Burson Marsteller, once described as “the PR firm for evil.” Still, the undertaking, as outlined by organizers, sounds ambitious. It included 250 face-to-face interviews in three Iraqi cities, plus another 3,250 interviews in 15 other countries throughout the Arab world, all with men and women ages 18-24 “selected to provide an accurate reflection of each nation’s geographic and socio-economic make-up.” It claims an error rate of plus or minus 1.65 percent.

I would be curious to see how this poll would come out in Kurdish areas.
Guess these people won't want our hugs or comedians.

Only 93% seems low but then there are probably lots not old enough to respond to the question.
