An earlier poll found little appetite among Egyptians for Islamism or scrapping Egypt's peace treaty with Israel. Pew's latest poll differs:
Egyptians hold diverse views about religion. About six-in-ten (62%) think laws should strictly follow the teachings of the Quran. However, only 31% of Egyptian Muslims say they sympathize with Islamic fundamentalists, while nearly the same number (30%) say they sympathize with those who disagree with the fundamentalists, and 26% have mixed views on this question. Those who disagree with fundamentalists are almost evenly divided on whether the treaty with Israel should be annulled, while others favor ending the pact by a goodly margin.
Adam Serwer is puzzled by the dueling polls:
Both polls had a similar sample size and polled Egyptians of varying ages and economic means, which makes me wonder how much question phrasing may have had an impact on the disparate results.
