Description
NDI: Public Attitudes in Georgia – Summary of All Waves
The NDI Public Attitudes in Georgia surveys are recurring national studies aimed at understanding the political views, priorities, and social attitudes of Georgian citizens aged 18 and older. Conducted regularly since 2014, these surveys use a mix of face-to-face and telephone interviews, covering a representative sample across regions, urban/rural areas, and minority populations. The results help inform public discourse, policymaking, and international organizations on the evolving attitudes of the Georgian public.
