• The survey was conducted by the Public Opinion and Market research company Baltic Surveys/The Gallup
Organization on behalf of the International Republican Institute. The field work was carried out by the
Institute of Polling & Marketing.
• Data was collected throughout Georgia February 3-28, 2015, through face-to-face interviews at respondents’
homes.
• The sample consisted of 1,500 permanent residents of Georgia 18 and older who are eligible to vote. It is
representative of the general population by age, gender, education, region and size of the settlement.
• Multistage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday respondent’s
selection procedures.
• Stage one: All districts of Georgia are grouped into 10 regions. All regions of Georgia were surveyed
(with Tbilisi city as a separate region).
• Stage two: Settlements were selected at random. The number of selected settlements in each region
was proportional to the share of population living in a particular type of the settlement in each region.
• Stage three: Primary sampling units were described.
• The margin of error does not exceed plus or minus 2.5 percent.
• Response rate was 70 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
