The poll was conducted between February 25 and March 5, 2007, for ABC News and its partners USA Today Newspaper, the BBC World News and the German network ARD, NHK Japan; with in-person interviews of a random national sample of 2,212 Iraqi adults. The fieldwork was conducted by KA Research Labs (KA Research Limited Turkey and KA Iraq – Office of Research), in cooperation with D3 Systems, Inc. and ABC News Polling Unit..
