WHY WE

CONDUCT

POLLS?

To foster the development of more

responsive policies and governance;

To help stakeholders diagnose and

address issues of public concern.

❖ Leaders from across the political

spectrum have reported that polls

are important to their work and

encourage continued polling;

❖ Inclusive process: the polling

instrument was developed in

consultation with political parties,

government, and civil society

leaders.

ABOUT

THE POLL

SAMPLE

❖ A nationally representative sample

(excluding occupied territories) including

oversampled areas of the Capital, Large

Urban, Small Urban, Rural and Minority

Settlements

❖ Large Urban stratum consists of cities with a

population 40K or more: Batumi, Zugdidi,

Rustavi, Poti, Gori, and Kutaisi

❖ Small Urban stratum consists of the rest of

the cities/dabas holding urban status, and

❖ Minority stratum consists of settlements,

where ethnic minorities (mostly Armenians &

Azerbaijani) compose at least 40% of the

voters in given settlement. Settlements

within this stratum are dispersed throughout

Kvemo Kartli, Samtskhe-Javakheti & Kakheti

regions.

❖ Fieldwork dates:

July 13-29, 2019

❖ 2,131 completed

interviews (41%

response rate)

❖ The average

margin of error

is +/- 1.7%

❖ Note: the margin

of error is

different for

every response

ABOUT

THE POLL

METHODOLOGY

We use random sampling at all stages. We use a

complex survey design:

❖ Stratification – dividing population in

relatively homogenous sub-groups; and

❖ Clustering – randomly selecting small

geographic areas for each sub-group

(stratum).

❖ Households are selected via random route

sampling;

❖ Respondents are selected using a Kish table;

❖ Randomly selected households and

individuals are not substituted; and

❖ All interviews were conducted face-to-face

with 18+ population, using tablets, in

Georgian, Armenian, and Azeri.

Quality control

❖ All interviewers

receive special

training

❖ CRRC central

office coordinators

conduct quality

control intervews

A hard climb for most

Georgians

July 2019 NDI surveywww.ndi.org/georgia-polls

Imagine there is a 10-step ladder

reflecting the economic standing of all

households in Georgia today. The first

rung of this ladder corresponds to the

lowest possible economic position in

society, while the 10th rung corresponds

to the highest possible position. Which

rung of this ladder do you think your

household stands on currently?
