These categories were coded based on the party or parties in power at the time the survey was fielded, and on respondents\u2019 answers to a question asking them which political party, if any, they identified with in their country.[1. Governing parties were not updated to account for elections that occurred after the survey was fielded and resulted in a new party (or parties) serving in government. Language used to measure party identification varied from country to country.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In countries where multiple political parties govern in coalition (as in many European countries), survey respondents who indicated support for any parties in the coalition were grouped together. In Germany, for example, where the Social Democratic Party governed with the Alliance 90\/The Greens and the Free Democratic Party at the time of the survey, supporters of all three parties were grouped together. In countries where different political parties occupy the executive and legislative branches of government, the party holding the executive branch was considered the governing party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Survey respondents who did not indicate support for any political party, or who refused to identify with one, were considered to be <em>not<\/em> supporting the government in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a table that outlines the governing political parties in each survey country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-34894\" href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2023\/07\/10\/spring-2023-russia-nato-ukraine-appendix-a-political-categorization\/gap_2023-07-10_russia-nato_a-01-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f2f2f2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f2f2f2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?resize=480,438 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?resize=782,714 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?resize=960,876 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?resize=1200,1095 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?resize=1280,1168 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"584\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2023\/07\/gap_2023.07.10_russia-nato_A-01.png?w=640\" alt=\"Table showing political categorization\" class=\"wp-image-34894 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this analysis, we grouped people into two political categories: those who support the governing political party (or parties) in each country, and those who do not.
