According to a new public opinion survey conducted in Armenia, 49% of citizens believe the country is moving in the wrong direction, while 36% say it is going in the right direction, and 15% either did not know or refused to answer.
The survey was conducted by the International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research and implemented by Brevis (represented by IPSC LLC) between June 16–26, 2025, using telephone interviews.
Compared to the previous IRI survey from September 13–25, 2024—when 46% thought the country was on the right track and 40% believed it was headed in the wrong direction—the new results indicate a shift in public sentiment. In that previous poll, 14% had also declined or were unsure how to respond.
The sample included 1,505 adults aged 18 and above, including former residents of Nagorno-Karabakh displaced by force who currently reside in Armenia. Individuals who had lived in the country for less than six months were excluded.
The sample represented adult mobile phone users across Armenia, covering nearly the entire population, excluding roughly 1.7%. The data were weighted based on age, gender, and type of settlement according to the 2023 data from the National Statistical Committee. Given the higher proportion of respondents with higher education compared to previous IRI studies, adjustments were made using a weighting factor derived from the 2022 census education data for adults 18 and older. The survey’s response rate was 25%.
