An
Eleven Nation Poll
February - March 2002
Dear all,
According to the Asahi Shimbun, an opinion poll, covering nuclear issues
in part, was conducted from Feb to March this year in eleven nations involving
Japan, the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the United States, Canada,
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa. It was
conducted by the Liu Center for the Study of Global Issues at the University
of British Columbia in cooperation with The Asahi Shimbun. The international
research firm Ipsos-Reid fielded the survey. The survey canvassed the
opinion of 6,036 respondents.
It is good to know that even amongst the US public sentiments after September
11th, the 76 percent of the US citizens support a treaty to ban nuclear
weapons.
The following is an excerpt from the Asahi Shimbun article by my personal
translation. I hope it is useful to all of you. (The figure is percentage.)
I am trying to get the original report in English. If some of you get
it first, please let me know.
In peace,
