For further details on sample designs, see Methodology section and our international survey methods database. Due to rounding, percentages may not total 100%. The topline total columns show 100%, because they are based on unrounded numbers. Since 2007, the Pew Research Center has used an automated process to generate toplines for its Global Attitudes surveys. As a result, numbers may differ slightly from those published prior to 2007. Not all questions included in the Spring 2015 survey are presented in this topline. Omitted questions will be released in future reports.
