Bashshar's popularity?

The media office of Bashshar has recently been peddling a lot of fabrications and inventions.  They now appear on regular basis every week.  This one claims that Bashshar was found to be popular among the residents of the Za`tari camp in a recent public opinion survey, according to this story in As-Safir.  I asked UN sources who work with the refugees and I was told that no such survey was ever conducted, and that residents are too afraid to even admit they like Bashshar, if they did.
