The Arab Barometer is a nonpartisan research network that provides insight into the social, political, and economic attitudes and values of ordinary citizens across the Arab world. It has been conducting public opinion surveys in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) since 2006. It is the largest repository of publicly available data on the views of men and women in the MENA region. The project has conducted more than 70,000 interviews over five waves of surveys across 15 countries in MENA since 2006. The project is organized through a partnership between Princeton University, the University of Michigan, and regional partners across the Middle East and North Africa. The project is governed by a Steering Committee including academics and researchers from MENA and the United States.
In 2014, Dr. Michael Robbins was appointed as project director. Meanwhile, the project transitioned to a model with core partners across the region, including the Center for Strategic Studies at the University of Jordan, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, and One to One for Research and Polling (Tunisia).
The fourth wave was carried out across 7 countries in 2016. The fifth wave (2018-19) was carried out across 12 countries and included larger sample sizes (2,400 respondents) in most countries. In total, more than 25,000 surveys were carried out making this the largest and most in depth publicly available survey ever carried out across the Middle East and North Africa. The survey was conducted in partnership with the BBC Arabic. Results were also covered in major media outlets across the world including The Economist, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle, and The Daily Star, among others.
The sixth wave (2020-2021) spanned the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and interviews were conducted in seven countries by computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).
