The latest Washington Post/Henry J. Kaiser Foundation/Harvard University survey has been released. This poll was conducted in South Africa to measure attitudes toward democracy on the 10th anniversary of the fall of all-white rule.
AAPOR members may be particularly interested in the video available on the website that captures on film how the survey was done. A washingtonpost.com videographer accompanied members of the Post/Kaiser/Harvard survey team to South Africa in October to record various stages of the survey process, including interviewer training and field work in the townships, cities and rural areas. One segment features the survey team negotiating with a Zulu traditional leader for permission to do interviews in his tribal area in rural KwaZulu-Natal.
