Iranians and Americans are both very concerned about the danger of terrorism, reject attacks against civilians overwhelmingly and share strongly negative views of Osama bin Laden.
It is important to note, however, that slim majorities of Iranians feel that some Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians are justified and view Hamas and Hezbollah favorably.
These are some of the results of a wide-ranging bi-national poll by WorldPublicOpinion.org in partnership with the non-profit group, Search for Common Ground. The poll in Iran, which was fielded by an independent Iranian firm, included 134 questions, administered in face-to-face interviews from Oct. 31 – Dec. 6, 2006. The poll in the United States was conducted by Knowledge Networks during late November and early December. Both polls used probability-based national samples of 1,000 respondents or more.
