Sorry but random names don't prove a thing. How about the ''methodology'', like I've already mentioned a number of times. What were the questions asked? Did they ask everyone the exact same questions word for word? How many people from each country did they ask? Did they ask billionaires living in mansions, or poor people living in slums? Or both? Did they only ask men? Women? Only seniors? Children? An even amount of each? Did the demographics of who they questioned stay exactly the same from country to country or did they only question people living in slums in one country, and people living in mansions in another country? Did they question an even amount of immigrants and natives?
Do you understand what I'm saying? Surveys like this are 100% meaningless without the methodology behind them, ''because you can literally get whatever results you desire based on the questions you ask, and who you ask.''
