Polls and Surveys
Opinion polls and attitude surveys are a rich source of information for
researchers. You can use these resources to replicate previous studies and
identify effective questions and questionaires. The data may be used to
support hypotheses. Many polls and surveys conducted by magazines,
associations, and institutions are included in the Statistical
Reference Index.

GSS
- The GSS (General Social Survey) is an almost annual, "omnibus," personal
interview survey of U.S. households conducted by the National Opinion Research
Center (NORC). The first survey took place in 1972 and since then more than
35,000 respondents have answered over 2500 different questions.
The mission of the GSS is to make timely, high-quality, scientifically
relevant data available to the social science research community. Key
features of the GSS are its broad coverage, its use of replication, its
cross-national perspective, and its attention to data quality. The special
features of the GSS follow from its unique origin as the first, perhaps only,
social science data set designed to be analyzed by "users."
