Only 14% of Syrian refugees in Jordan 'very determined' to return: poll

According to a new poll, 32% of Syrian refugees in Jordan are sure they will not return to their homeland, while only 14% are "very determined" to return to Syria, the Jordan Times reported Monday (December 17th).

These numbers were presented during a Sunday press conference conducted by NAMA for Strategic Intelligence Solutions to discuss the preliminary results of a poll titled, "Will Syrian Refugees Return to Syria?"

The poll was conducted in co-operation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

The survey was conducted in November and covered two samples comprising 1,305 Jordanians and 600 Syrian refugees in Amman, Zarqa, Irbid and Mafraq.

According to the poll, 85% of Jordanians answered yes on whether Syrian refugees should return to Syria, while 34% of Syrians answered no.

Fifty-three percent of Syrian refugees who took part in the poll answered no when asked if Jordan should have done more to support Syrian refugees, while 47% answered yes to the same question.
