NATO data: Assad winning the war for Syrians’ hearts and minds | World Tribune

Meanwhile, Assad has more support from the Syrian people than Obama has from the American people:

“The people are sick of the war and hate the jihadists more than Assad,” a Western source familiar with the data said. “Assad is winning the war mostly because the people are cooperating with him against the rebels.”

The data, relayed to NATO over the last month, asserted that 70 percent of Syrians support the Assad regime. Another 20 percent were deemed neutral and the remaining 10 percent expressed support for the rebels.

Those are terrifying numbers. If that's true, I honestly have no idea what else that dictator has to do to make those people "unsupport" him... (I would understand 70 percent of neutral ones vs 20/10 for the dictator and rebels respectively, but 70 percent for the dictator? Terrifying...)

There is no way to know whether the people were ordered to support Assad, of course. I think 70% is a little high as well.
