Included is the exclusive national depository for all survey data collected since 1965 by Louis Harris and Associates, Inc. The Harris Polls, together with the 7 additional public opinion surveys that make up the collection, are all organized into IRSS's Public Opinion Item Index which allows any researcher connected to the Internet to view questions and frequency distributions of state and national polls, as well as to perform a complete keyword search of the entire Index.)
  • The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press (The Center is an independent opinion research group that studies attitudes toward the press, politics and public policy issues. We are best known for regular national surveys that measure public attentiveness to major news stories, and for our polling that charts trends in values and fundamental political and social attitudes. Formerly, the Times Mirror Center for the People & the Press (1990-1995), we are now sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts.)
  • Roper Center iPoll (IPOLL, from the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, is a full text database of 500,000 questions from national public opinion surveys since 1935 and updated daily. iPOLL includes survey results data from academic, commercial and media survey organizations such as Gallup, Harris Interactive, Pew Research Associates, ABC, CBS, Wall Street Journal and many more. Many data sets are available for download in ASCII or SPSS format.
