​​The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha announced today the results of the Arab Opinion Index (AOI) 2025. The survey was conducted in 15 Arab countries: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar, in addition to Syria, where the Arab Center carried out its first survey of this kind since the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. The AOI aims to identify trends in Arab public opinion on a range of political, economic, and social issues, and has been conducted regularly by the Arab Center since 2011.

The survey consisted of face-to-face interviews with a sample of 40,130 respondents representative of their respective countries, with a margin of error of ±2–3% across all countries. It was conducted between October 2024 and August 2025. This ninth edition of the AOI constitutes the largest public opinion survey ever undertaken in the Arab region, in terms of sample size, scope of topics, and number of countries covered. A total of 1,000 researchers participated in its implementation, which required more than 413,000 hours of work, more than one million kilometres travelled by field researchers. The continuity of this large-scale survey, together with the diversity of its themes, has made the AOI a critical data source for Arab and international research institutions, scholars, and experts.

The results are presented both according to surveyed country and the overall regional average for the Arab world. For comparative purposes, the data from the surveyed countries is classified by the geographical regions of the Arab world as follows:

• The Maghreb: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.
• The Nile Valley: Egypt and Sudan.
• The Mashreq: Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria.
• The Gulf: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.
