# Input pack — EU and NATO membership support in Georgia, Caucasus Barometer 2009–2024 Gathered 2026-10-03 by running Prompts 0–4 of `../04-survey-synthesis.sequence.md` against the live site, from the HTML "Frequency distribution (%)" and "Cross tabulation (%)" tables on caucasusbarometer.org (CRRC's published weighted percentages, rounded to integers). URL pattern: `https://caucasusbarometer.org/en///`. 26 requests, 3 seconds apart, no page read from any copy, archive or proxy. This is the gather behind the release page `/en/research/georesearch-2026-10-03-survey-note/`. Every cell below was re-confirmed on the page it cites in this same run, and compared cell for cell with the 2026-09-21 pack: **134 cells, 0 differences** — CRRC has not revised any of these tables in the intervening twelve days. ## Prompt 0 — capability probes (all four passed) | Probe | Source type | URL | Result | |---|---|---|---| | A | HTML page | `/en/cb2024ge/EUSUPP/` | OK — first line under "Frequency distribution (%)": "Don't support at all 5" | | B | JSON API | `pc-axis.geostat.ge/PXWeb/api/v1/en/Database/` | OK — first entry `{"id":"Agriculture","type":"l","text":"Agriculture"}` | | C | PDF attachment | `/en/cb2024ge/downloads/` → "Georgia methodological note (ENG)" | OK — "Caucasus Barometer 2024 Georgia / METHODOLOGICAL REPORT / Funded by: CRRC-Georgia / June 2024" | | D | Binary .xls | `geostat.ge/media/81802/0503EN020101_Permissions.xls` | OK — 34,304 bytes, sheet "permissions", headed "Permissions granted for construction by regions (Declared data)" | Because probe C passed, the methodology block below carries the five PDF fields as well as the factsheet fields; nothing is marked NOT GATHERED in this run. ## Prompt 1 — which waves exist Read from the "EUSUPP in other datasets:" list on `/en/cb2024ge/EUSUPP/`, keeping Georgia Caucasus Barometer waves only (Armenia, Azerbaijan, the regional and time-series datasets, the Media Consumption Survey and "The Future of Georgia 2020" discarded), plus cb2024ge itself: `cb2011ge, cb2012ge, cb2013ge, cb2015ge, cb2017ge, cb2019ge, cb2020ge, cb2021ge, cb2024ge` Nine waves. The same list read from "NATOSUPP in other datasets:" on `/en/cb2024ge/NATOSUPP/` adds two earlier ones, cb2009ge and cb2010ge: eleven waves for NATO. There is no EUSUPP page for 2009 or 2010, and no Georgia Barometer wave in 2014, 2016, 2018, 2022 or 2023. ## Question 1 — EUSUPP Latest wording (CB 2024 Georgia): "Using a scale of 1 to 5, where code '1' means no support and code '5' means your full support, to what extent would you support Georgia's membership in the European Union?" Wording by wave, as printed: 2011–2012 "Please tell me to what extent would you support Georgia's membership in the European Union?"; 2013 and 2015 "To what extent would you support Georgia's membership in the EU?"; 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2024 the 1–5 scale text above; 2020 a read-out variant, "To what extent would you support Georgia's membership in European Union? Would you fully support, support, partially support, partially not support, not support, or not support at all Georgia's membership in European Union?" Label notes: the middle category is "Equally support and don't support" in 2011–2015 and "Partially support, partially don't support" from 2017; the 2020 page still prints it as "pardially" (the site's typo, unchanged since 21 September). DK and RA are one cell in 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2024 and two cells in 2011, 2015, 2019, 2020 and 2021. | Wave (dataset) | Don't support at all | Rather not | Partially / equally | Rather support | Fully support | DK | RA | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 2011 (cb2011ge) | 3 | 2 | 13 | 30 | 39 | 12 | 1 | | 2012 (cb2012ge) | 1 | 2 | 13 | 34 | 38 | 12 (DK/RA) | — | | 2013 (cb2013ge) | 4 | 4 | 17 | 31 | 34 | 10 (DK/RA) | — | | 2015 (cb2015ge) | 8 | 8 | 27 | 24 | 18 | 13 | 2 | | 2017 (cb2017ge) | 8 | 6 | 28 | 28 | 17 | 13 (DK/RA) | — | | 2019 (cb2019ge) | 5 | 4 | 25 | 28 | 24 | 11 | 2 | | 2020 (cb2020ge) | 4 | 3 | 11 | 32 | 41 | 9 | 1 | | 2021 (cb2021ge) | 3 | 4 | 20 | 29 | 34 | 9 | 1 | | 2024 (cb2024ge) | 5 | 5 | 14 | 22 | 48 | 5 (DK/RA) | — | Support sum (rather + fully, sum of rounded cells): 2011 69; 2012 72; 2013 65; 2015 42; 2017 45; 2019 52; 2020 73; 2021 63; 2024 70. ### Cross-tab, CB 2024 Georgia: EUSUPP by AGEGROUP URL: `https://caucasusbarometer.org/en/cb2024ge/EUSUPP-by-AGEGROUP/` | Age group | Don't support at all | Rather not | Partially | Rather support | Fully support | DK/RA | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 18–34 | 4 | 5 | 14 | 16 | 58 | 3 | | 35–54 | 5 | 5 | 15 | 26 | 46 | 3 | | 55+ | 6 | 4 | 14 | 23 | 43 | 10 | Support sum by age group (rather + fully): 18–34 74; 35–54 72; 55+ 66. ## Question 2 — NATOSUPP Latest wording (CB 2024): "Using a scale of 1 to 5, where code '1' means no support and code '5' means your full support, to what extent would you support Georgia's membership in NATO?" | Wave (dataset) | Don't support at all | Rather not | Partially / equally | Rather support | Fully support | DK | RA | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 2009 (cb2009ge) | 5 | 5 | 19 | 30 | 29 | 12 | 1 | | 2010 (cb2010ge) | 4 | 4 | 13 | 35 | 35 | 9 | 1 | | 2011 (cb2011ge) | 4 | 3 | 15 | 28 | 38 | 11 | 1 | | 2012 (cb2012ge) | 3 | 3 | 14 | 33 | 34 | 12 | 1 | | 2013 (cb2013ge) | 7 | 5 | 19 | 29 | 29 | 11 (DK) | — | | 2015 (cb2015ge) | 10 | 10 | 27 | 21 | 17 | 13 | 2 | | 2017 (cb2017ge) | 12 | 8 | 26 | 25 | 16 | 13 (DK/RA) | — | | 2019 (cb2019ge) | 7 | 7 | 23 | 26 | 24 | 11 | 2 | | 2020 (cb2020ge) | 4 | 3 | 12 | 29 | 42 | 9 | 1 | | 2021 (cb2021ge) | 5 | 5 | 20 | 29 | 31 | 10 | 1 | | 2024 (cb2024ge) | 8 | 8 | 18 | 20 | 37 | 8 | 1 | Support sum: 2009 59; 2010 70; 2011 66; 2012 67; 2013 58; 2015 38; 2017 41; 2019 50; 2020 71; 2021 60; 2024 57. Wording and labels: 2009–2015 ask "To what extent would you support Georgia's membership in NATO?" with no scale read out; 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2024 use the 1–5 scale text; 2020 uses the same read-out variant as the EU question. In 2009 and 2010 the three middle categories are printed as the bare codes 2, 3 and 4; 2011–2015 print "Rather not support / Equally support and don't support / Rather support"; from 2017 the middle label is "Partially support, partially don't support" (again "pardially" in 2020). The 2013 page prints a DK row and **no RA row at all** — not a joint DK/RA cell, which is how 2017 prints it. ## Survey metadata — CB 2024 Georgia From the factsheet, `https://caucasusbarometer.org/en/cb2024ge/factsheet/`: country Georgia; fieldwork 16 April to 13 May 2024; population adults (18+) excluding populations living in territories affected by military conflict (South Ossetia and Abkhazia); sample design multi-stage cluster sampling with preliminary stratification; 1,509 completed interviews; response rate 23%; mode computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI); interview languages Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian; "Results are weighted."; principal investigator Dr. Tamar Khoshtaria, Senior Researcher and Caucasus Barometer Project Coordinator. (The factsheet also prints a contact e-mail address; the sequence forbids copying personal contact details and it is not recorded here.) From the methodological report (probe C), CRRC-Georgia, "Caucasus Barometer 2024 Georgia — Methodological Report", June 2024, via `https://caucasusbarometer.org/en/cb2024ge/downloads/`: - **Sampling stages and strata.** Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling; electoral precincts as primary sampling units, frames built from the 2020 parliamentary elections; PSUs allocated to three strata — precincts in capital cities, other urban settlements, rural settlements — with the urban and rural strata further divided into four geographic quadrants (north-east, north-west, south-east, south-west). Stage one: PSUs drawn probability-proportional-to-size. Stage two: households (secondary sampling units) by random-walk protocol from a predefined starting point, direction and step size. Final stage: the respondent selected by Kish grid, with no replacement permitted. Sample size calculated independently at a 95% confidence level for each stratum; 1,224 interviews completed at first contact, 238 at the second attempt, 47 at the third; interviews averaged 31 minutes; CRRC-Georgia re-checked 10% of interviews face-to-face after fieldwork. 92 interviewers, eight fieldwork supervisors. - **How weights are built.** Selection weights from precinct-level voter numbers; then adjusted for non-response (the report's own example: if 80% of attempts in a precinct produced interviews, the weight of those who did respond is adjusted upwards by a factor of 1.25); then respondents binned by gender, age and geography and the weights adjusted so the weighted age and gender ratios match the population, using the 2014 National Census of Georgia for the demographic bins. - **Fieldwork and interview languages.** CAPI face-to-face interviews between 16 April and 13 May 2024; 89.8% of interviews were conducted in Georgian, 8.7% in Azerbaijani and 1.5% in Armenian. The instrument was developed in English, piloted in 30 interviews in and near Tbilisi on 15–18 March 2024, then translated into Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian. - **Margin of error: not stated.** The report names "the targeted margin of error" as one of the factors that influenced sample size and says the sample size "was independently calculated at a 95% confidence level for each stratum", but prints no margin-of-error figure. Minimum response rate (AAPOR RR1) 23%. - **Funder.** "Since its inception, Caucasus Barometer has been supported by generous funding from the Carnegie Corporation in New York. The 2024 wave of the survey in Georgia was self-funded by CRRC-Georgia." - **Citation format the report requests**, quoted: *"The Caucasus Research Resource Centers. (dataset year) "[dataset name - e.g. Caucasus Barometer]". Retrieved from http://www.caucasusbarometer.org/ on {date of accessing the database here}"* Earlier waves: fieldwork in the year of the dataset name. The report also notes that representative nationwide data exists since 2008 (the survey was titled The Data Initiative before 2010) and that the 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2024 waves were conducted in Armenia and Georgia only.
