The poll asked US residents to consider a leaked memo from Hillary Clinton which stated that donors from Saudi Arabia constituted the most significant source of funding for Sunni terrorist groups worldwide and to say which policy the US should adopt towards Saudi Arabia.
Only 12 percent of Americans said that the US should support Saudi Arabia as an ally, while 20 percent of Americans chose to respond with “I don’t know”.
Populus, a research company, conducted the survey in March 2015. The survey included 1,003 American respondents aged between 18-64. The sample represents the country’s population in terms of sex, age, and location. The maximum margin of error did not exceed 3.1 percent, giving the results a 95 percent probability.
