#poll questions #Public Opinion SurveysSome of these sites contain questions on a specific topic or an entire survey or questionnaire. Others include response cross tabulations and information on a survey's methodology. Those containing only brief summaries of survey results are not included, nor are sites that concentrate on survey methodology. In addition, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR ) houses many opinion polls, including polls conducted for national media organizations (CBS, ABC, Washington Post, New York Times, etc.) and major international series (Afrobarometer, Eurobarometer, Asiabarometer). Cornell users can obtain these datasets. National Opinion SurveysRecent political and economic polling results, as well as "special reports" that examine attitudes toward social issues and consumer behavior. Some multinational studies are included. (Olin Library owns the Gallup Poll Monthly in electronic and hardcopy.) Codebooks and datasets for many Gallup polls are available from the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research site (see separate entry below). GallupBrain is a question bank that allows searching for survey questions in over 70 years of Gallup polls. Cornell doesn't subscribe so you can't view response frequencies, but GallupBrain is a useful tool if you're looking for question wording. The GSS has been conducted since 1972 by the National Opinion Research Center. It measures attitudes toward social and public policy issues, economic status, political events, work, and family life. Some questions are asked each year, and topical modules are administered on a rotating basis that focus on current topics such as gender equity, religious beliefs, and perception of work. The 1972-2006 file was released in May 2007. Although the database is compiled by the Roper Center, it contains questions from polls conducted by other U.S. organizations such as Harris, Gallup, National Opinion Research Center, and major news establishments, some back to 1936. The questions often contain response frequencies, sometimes broken down by respondents' demographics. iPOLL is accessible to Cornell users from the Roper Center iPOLL site ; use this link for off-campus access. See CISER's Roper Center membership page for more information on iPOLL and other Roper services.
