We measure Syria with a published methodology — then we show our work.
Twelve national indicators surveyed quarterly with a declared sample and a published margin of error. No number appears on this site without its sample, fieldwork dates, and source.
What is not measured cannot be governed — we never miss a number.
How we measurePublicationssay the country is heading in the right direction. Comparative reference until our first wave is published.
The Syrian Barometer — twelve indicators
Our own figures will be published after the first wave; until then we show the comparative reference where one exists, and we say plainly where we will be the first to measure.

Why MIRSAD is different
A published methodology, always
Every figure we release carries its sample size, margin of error, and fieldwork dates. If a number bears our name without them, it is not ours.
The golden quadrant
No Syrian center combines proximity to Damascus with quantitative polling capacity. That empty quadrant is exactly where MIRSAD stands.
