An image is published depicting a survey regarding citizen support for political entities in Kosovo, which is claimed to have been conducted by the American company SDGs Global Survey.
The table of contents lists the political parties as follows:: PDK: 28.2%, VV: 27.01%, LDK: 24.5%, AAK: 13.9 and other entities with 6.39% was published yesterday (November 18) by a Facebook page named "Universal".
But what is the truth?
Hibrid.info's research has not found that such a survey has not been published by credible sources and by the company referred to in the claim.
The same content was found published by a Facebook page, named "Papyrus TV" and on TikTok by two accounts with the names "democraticparty88”And“universalx".
Hibrid.info has researched through the online search engine "Google", searching with the keywords "latest poll for the elections in Kosovo”And“PDK: 28.2%, VV: 27.01%, LDK: 24.5%, AAK: 13.9 and other entities with 6.39%". However, the results do not show such a survey.
Hibrid.info also checked the company's website, "Global Survey on Sustainability and the SDGs", where the claimed survey was not found.
About surveys
The two surveys that have been published in recent months are the one in April, when "reporters.net"published some data which it reported were taken from a survey conducted by the company "UBO Consulting" and that of June when "albanianpost.com"published a survey conducted by the company "Source" in collaboration with this portal. The data from the two surveys showed different percentages.
Analyze:
The claim that the American company SDGs Global Survey has conducted a survey on popular support for political parties in Kosovo is incorrect.
Hibrid.info has not found that the alleged survey was conducted by the company in question or any other company.
