Two-thirds (67%) consider it preferable to any other kind of government. Just 19% say in some circumstances a non-democratic form of government may be best and 13% say it doesn\u2019t really matter what kind of government rules the country.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, it is clear that Egyptians want law and order: six-in-ten (60%) consider this a very important priority.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Global Attitudes survey found that less than half of Egyptians say things have improved in the country since Mubarak was forced from office. Just over four-in-ten (44%) say Egypt is better off now that Mubarak is not in power. On the other hand, 26% believe the country is worse off, while another 26% say things are neither better nor worse. <a
