BEIRUT: Just 1 percent of Lebanon’s Sunni population has a positive opinion of ISIS, according to new poll commissioned by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Still, that means there are probably “a few thousand” ISIS sympathizers in Lebanon, according to David Pollock, the director of the Washington Institute’s Fikra Forum, who designed the survey.

No Lebanese Sunnis in the poll reported “very positive” attitudes toward ISIS, but approximately 1 percent of Sunnis said they harbor “fairly positive” views of the Islamist terror group.
