Fondapol and AJC published a comparative study on antisemitism in German and French opinion.
The methodological device was built according to a logic of crossed views. The survey in Germany was carried out by the Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach and in France by IFOP. The surveys carried out in France in the two countries have the same characteristics in terms of collection method (they were carried out by internet), indicators (the questions were asked identically according to the same method), sampling method (the quota method) and temporality (they were carried out at the same time).
The two surveys were conducted online from December 15, 2021 to January 4, 2022.
