I would think the UAE and Saudi Arabia being at the upper end of "most trusted" would have been enough of a red flag that this isn't credible.

Why wouldn't UAE or Saudi Arabia citizens not trust their government? Aren't lots of them family anyways, and spending lavishly on those who aren't?

Now women, or slave immigrants, I bet they didn't ask those.

Lol, Saudis are litteraly scared to say ANYTHING about the government. I've been there. The way they explained it to me, you can be jailed for any criticism about the government. So yeah, I think they tend to say what they believe will keep them safe. Plus, I highly doubt any women would even have the right to answer a survey, so that takes 50% out of that statistic.

Citizens. Saudi Arabia is very restrictive over who counts as a citizen.
