I received an interesting mail today that will be under embargo until next Monday. It is an\u00a0Gallup International press release from a poll\u00a0of 63,898 persons who were interviewed globally. In each country a representative sample of around 1000 men and women was interviewed either face to face or online\u00a0with poll being\u00a0conducted during September 2014 – December 2014. And voila, here are the results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
