LAPOP: Nicaragua 2010

The Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) is an academic institution hosted by Vanderbilt University that began with the study of democratic values in Costa Rica, but today carries out surveys in much of Latin America, Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. In 2004, LAPOP established the AmericasBarometer as multi-country, regularly conducted survey of democratic values and behaviors in the Americas, and the first round included voting-age respondents from 11 countries. LAPOP collected opinions on major problems facing the country and community, threats to security, attitudes towards the country's political system, and trust in government institutions. Also measured were respondents' participation in community organizations, attitudes towards government critics, voting behavior, confidence in local government, and the prevalence of crime. Demographic information collected includes nationality, ethnicity, native language, age, gender, education level, occupation, religion, and whether the respondent lives in an urban or rural area.拉丁美洲公共舆论项目（Latin American Public Opinion Project, LAPOP）是由范德堡大学（Vanderbilt University）主办的学术机构，其发端于哥斯达黎加的民主价值观研究，如今调研范围覆盖拉美大部分区域、加拿大、美国及加勒比地区。2004年，LAPOP推出《美洲晴雨表》（AmericasBarometer），作为一项在美洲多国定期开展的民主价值观与民主行为调研项目，首轮调研覆盖11个国家的适龄投票受访者。该项目收集了民众对国家与社区面临的主要问题、安全威胁、本国政治体系态度以及对政府机构信任度的相关意见。此外，调研还涵盖了受访者参与社区组织的情况、对政府批评者的态度、投票行为、对地方政府的信任度，以及犯罪频发状况。收集的人口统计信息包括受访者的国籍、族裔、母语、年龄、性别、受教育程度、职业、宗教信仰，以及是否居住在城镇或乡村地区。
