Public opinion polling

 

PRIME conducts monthly phone polling to gauge public opionion about a range of topics. Some of the results we make public as part of our regular commentary or our Discussion Paper series, but if you want to know the public's opionion about a specific question then you will need to contact us and arrange to add your question to our poll. 

 

As an example of our poll results, in August we asked 268 randomly selected people about their attitudes to business regulation and found a very interesting result. A majority of people believe that small business should not have to deal with government as they go about their business (60%), but that result is dramatically reversed for big businesses where people believe that they should have to pay to register with the government (98%). These results have a margin of error of +/- 6%. 

 

There are strong economic reasons why the instincts of average Cambodians makes sense, but if you want to read more about the economics of regulation you will have to wait for our regulation Discussion Paper to be released.
