Survey of Afghan People Conducted by The Asia Foundation

A recent poll conducted by The Asia Foundation is being used by supporters and detractors of the Afghan War to support their arguments.  The polls seems to be legitimate yet it is interpreted in various ways depending on your outlook of the war.  You will find the media is citing it quite frequently in news postings.  The blurb below is from The Asia Foundations website and provides info on the survey.

"On November 9, 2010, The Asia Foundation released findings from Afghanistan in 2010: A Survey of the Afghan People – the broadest public opinion poll in the country. Conducted by The Asia Foundation's office in Afghanistan, the 2010 survey polled 6,467 Afghan citizens across all 34 provinces in the country on security, development, economy, government, corruption, and women's issues to assess the mood and direction of the country. In-person interviews were conducted from June 18 – July 5, 2010 with a multi-stage random sample of Afghan citizens 18 years of age and older, both women and men, from different social, economic, and ethnic communities in rural and urban areas."
