Conducting National Statistical Surveys
In striving to become the leading source of accurate information about the Iranian American community, PAAIA commissioned Zogby International, a nationally recognized pollster, to survey Iranian American attitudes on important issues in 2008, with a follow-up survey in 2009. In addition, PAAIA conducted a national public opinion survey of American perceptions of Iranian Americans, Iranians, and Iran in August of 2008. These invaluable surveys were the first of their kind and have been presented to the United States Congress, the media, and the general public to wide acclaim.
