Methodology:
Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (except in Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, and Romania
where face-to-face interviews were conducted due to the low telephone penetration rate in
these four countries). The basic sample design applied in all states is multi-stage random
(probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random (following the
"closest birthday rule"). Up to 5 call-backs for telephone interviews and 4 visits in total for
face-to-face interviews were attempted before dropping a potential respondent.

NOTE TO READERS
The summary topline report shows results for each of the 13 countries surveyed.

USA
FR = France
GER = Germany
UK= The United Kingdom
IT = Italy
NL = The Netherlands
PL = Poland
PT = Portugal
SP = Spain
SK = Slovakia
TR = Turkey
RO = Romania
SE = Sweden

Results for Europe as a whole are also indicated. In order to compare with the previous
results, we have processed 5 separate totals for the results of Europe:

EU 5: Results for EU5 based on five European Union member states: United Kingdom,
France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
EU 7: Results for EU7 based on seven European Union member states: United
Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland and Portugal.
EU 9: Results for EU9 based on nine European Union member states: France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and United
Kingdom.
EU 10: Results for EU10 based on ten European Union member states: Europe 9 plus
Romania.
EU 11: Results for EU11 based on eleven European Union member states: Europe 11
plus Sweden

The figures given for Europe are weighted on the basis of the adult population in each of the
European countries. In addition, for all countries, all new questions since 2010 are weighted
using specified country demographic weights.

w1: Stage 1 selection probability weight


w2: Stage 2 Correction for dual frame countries Spain, Italy, Portugal and US
w3: Stage 3 Socio-demographic weights for all countries (gender/age, education,
region)
w3capped: Based on weight w3 but capped to 0.3 and 3.5

Where available, data from the Transatlantic Trends 2009, Transatlantic Trends 2008,
Transatlantic Trends 2007, Transatlantic Trends 2006, Transatlantic Trends 2005,
Transatlantic Trends 2004, Transatlantic Trends 2003 surveys, the Worldviews 2002
and Transatlantic Trends Immigration 2011 survey are provided. For purposes of
comparison, figures are shown below the 2010 corresponding figure, in italic. The results of
Worldviews 2002 are based on the 6 European countries surveyed (United Kingdom, France,
Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Poland). In order to simplify the presentation of the
results, they have been included in the column Europe 7. The results of Transatlantic Trends
Immigration 2011 are based on the 5 European countries surveyed (United Kingdom, France,
Germany, Spain and Italy). In order to simplify the presentation of the results, they have
been included in the column Europe 5.
All figures are expressed in percentage terms. In questions where [Europe\the United
States] or [European Union\the United States] figures, the former item is asked in Europe
and the latter in the United States.

Due to the rounding off of the results, in certain tables the figures representing a sum of
results can differ by +/- one point compared to the actual sum of individual results.
For the results based on the total sample in each of the fifteen countries, one can say with
95% confidence that the margin of error attributable to sampling and other random effects is
plus or minus three percentage points. For results based on the total European sample, the
margin of error is plus or minus one percentage point.

And now imagine that all of these non-military options have been tried and the only option left to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is the use of military force. In that
case, should the [European Union\ United States\Turkey] take military action against Iran, or should [it/they] simply accept that Iran could acquire nuclear weapons?

Q16b

And now imagine that all of these non-military options have been tried and the only option left to compel North Korea to give up nuclear weapons is the use of military force. In that
case, should the [European Union\ United States\Turkey] take military action against North Korea, or should [it/they] simply accept that North Korea retain nuclear weapons?
