The document summarizes the results of a national survey of 800 registered voters conducted in February 2012 regarding views on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Key findings include:
- A majority of voters believe the US should support Israel in the conflict and see Israel as the US's most important ally in the Middle East.
- Most voters agree the conflict is about ideology and religion rather than just land. This view is shared across party and age groups.
- Views are divided on whether communicating more or protecting values is the best approach to the world, with Republicans more likely to choose protecting values.
- Feelings toward Israel remain predominantly favorable while views of Palestinians and Iran remain negative.

Attitudes to immigration: National issue or global challenge?Ipsos UK
On 15 March 2018, a group of Ipsos experts from around the world, along with Sarah Cutler of the Migration Exchange, gathered in London to debate global and national attitudes to immigration.
A new global Ipsos MORI study, carried out in 27 countries for the BBC, highlights the extent to which people think their society is divided. The poll, carried out online among adults aged under 65 in January and February this year, investigates public attitudes towards division and societal tensions around the world. The study finds that three in four people on average across the 27 countries (76%) think society in their country is divided. Countries that are most concerned about division are Serbia, where most people (93%) say their society is divided, Argentina (92%), Peru and Chile (both 90%). Those in Saudi Arabia are least likely to say their country is divided (34%) followed by China (48%) and Japan (52%).
An expert panel in London presented the findings of a major new Ipsos MORI research study into Millennials and bust some myths and confirmed some realities.

En partenariat avec le Policy Institute du Kings College de Londres, Ipsos a voulu identifier quelles inégalités étaient jugées les plus insupportables à l’échelle mondiale. Réalisée dans vingt-huit pays du 23 Décembre 2020 au 8 Janvier 2021, l’enquête montre que pour 60% des citoyens du monde, les écarts de richesse représente la forme la plus grave d'inégalité dans leur pays.
Who cares what you think? Do people's voices matter for Sustainable Development?Ipsos UK
As the world embarks on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) era, efforts abound to improve development planning and measure impacts. The talk is of a "data revolution".
But does the sector that once talked endlessly of participation and ownership care any more about the voices of citizens and beneficiaries? Or has a focus on value-for-money and efficiency obscured this previously central mantra. Of the 230 SDG progress indicators, only four relate to people's perceptions.
In this context, we ask if, by accident or design, the international development community has de-prioritised listening. We also discuss the value of perceptions vs "objective" data. Is giving people a voice an expensive and methodologically complicated luxury or does it need to regain its place at the heart of the debate?

As the impact of Women’s Marches is discussed around the world, a new global Ipsos survey across 23 countries finds that most men and women do not think that their governments are doing enough to promote equal opportunities for women. There are wide disparities between countries, but almost always men are more positive about gender inequality than women.
Ipsos asked the online population in 23 countries whether women have equal opportunities to men in their country and the data suggests that less than half of women surveyed (45%) think they have equal opportunities to men, while six in ten (60%) men think they do. In Great Britain we are above the global average, with 67% of men and 51% of women agreeing that women have equality with men.

The quantitative survey collected insights from 1,988 members of the general population and 513 broad elites in the U.S. Most notably, this year’s survey found that Americans are overwhelmingly optimistic about their personal lives and ability to live the “American Dream,” even though three-fourths are worried the Dream is suffering overall.
Public Health England: Public awareness and opinion survey 2016Ipsos UK
Public Health England (PHE) commissioned Ipsos MORI to carry out quantitative research into the general public’s awareness of and concern about different health issues, and their awareness, knowledge, and opinions towards PHE. This report outlines the findings of the third wave of the research, following on from previous waves in 2015, 2014, and a baseline wave in 2013/2014.
The research found that half of the general public have heard of PHE, showing a steady increase between 2014 and 2016. Similarly, the public are more confident in PHE’s advice, and more likely to trust their advice on healthy living and health threats.

With July 4th approaching, more than 60 percent of Americans say the nation is more divided as a country now than it was 10 years ago, with even higher percentages saying America is at least as fragmented now as it was during the Great Depression, Vietnam, and Watergate. And perhaps most strikingly, one in five Americans doubts that America will remain united as one country. These are some of the findings of the 2013 The Atlantic/Aspen Institute American Values Survey, conducted by research firm Penn Schoen Berland (PSB) in partnership with global public relations and strategic communications firm Burson-Marsteller.

Ever wondered why the two hottest words in marketing today are “Millennial” and “Multicultural”?
Well the short answer is that the Millennial Generation (18-34) rules category after category and Multiculturals are their heart and source of vitality and growth.
Andy Halley-Wright, VP Planning and Research at Y&R/Bravo Miami, looks at how despite millennials coming of age in dire economic times, they are optimistic, open minded and brave. And in the home of the brave, the American Dream burns brightest in multicultural millennial hearts. Naturally various life stages and different mindsets fall between the ages of 18 and 34. In fear of over simplification, the younger cohort (18-24) are “Explorers” (4Cs) driven by the mega need of discovery while the older segment (25-34) are “Aspirers” (4Cs) motivated to make a mark and to show the world that they are making it.
"Born in a digital world, eight in 10 Millennials in America own a smartphone. They are always on, always connected – like 1 in 2 are tweeting, liking, emailing, you-tubing or whatever; while on the toilet! No generation has ever spread the word about themselves and help build or break brands like this generation. And again, Hispanics are at the bleeding edge, especially when it comes to mobile," he writes.
If “Millennial” and “Multicultural” are the two hottest words in marketing today, the two most important commandments they impart are that the marketer should “Embrace Diversity” and “Be Participatory.” Of course, that’s easier said than done.

Two Years Later: The real story on the Iran Nuclear DealThe Israel Project
Friday marked the second anniversary of the announcement of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the landmark nuclear agreement reached between a U.S.-led group of six world powers and Iran. On this anniversary, we ask: was the deal a success?
The answer is a resounding “no”. Iran is using the agreement as a domestic tool of oppression and as an instrument of terror abroad. Over the past two years, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly tested the limits of the deal and has also pursued a much more aggressive military campaign across the Middle East, confirming the worst fears of the JCPOA’s critics.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
