the Ahram poll on the referendum
March 17, 2011
In the West we often tire of the banality of public opinion polls, but there is a shocking freshness to them in a place like Egypt. Here is Ahram Online’s poll on the Saturday Referendum:
Say “no” to the amendments (56.09 %)
Say “yes” to the amendments (17.24 %)
Demand poll be called off (16.32 %)
Demand poll be postponed (8.74 %)
Boycott the poll (1.61 %)
Unless the Ahram readership is a terrible sample of the voting populace, the outcome for Saturday looks pretty clear.
