The most prestigious polling association in the world, Gallup International Association (GIA), has addressed this huge challenge in order to publish this unique document on the status of global public opinion. Voice of the People, 2006 edition, expresses the concerns of the world’s population on globaliza- tion, the economy, poverty, democracy, religion, immigration, and health, as well as social and political issues. The book is based on a poll conducted — according to the high standards of GIA, which ensure the quality and strength of the data collected — in 68 countries. In each country, Gallup International Association managed every step of the process rigorously, while adapting the methodology to cultural differences and local realities — as illustrated in the amazing photos found in this edition. Of course this survey is primarily numbers, but it is also — above all — citi- zens expressing their lives through their joys, sorrows, and hopes.
