Looking for data showing differing beliefs, despite the same label, across countries

December 5, 2011 11:13 AM

I'm looking for data on public opinion varying across countries, particularly from folks who claim the same affiliation-- say, "progressive", or "socialist"-- but turn out to believe different things depending on the country they're living in.

I'm pretty sure I've seen folks talk about a survey finding that self-described "Catholics" and "conservative Catholics" believe moderately different things in France than in they do in Spain, or the UK, or the US. (Maybe at Matthew Yglesias's blog a while back?) But my Googling has failed me. Is anyone out there more knowledgeable or better at using the Internet than I am?

One place to start is Pew Global.
