Overview

This work is the only complete compilation of polls taken by the Gallup Organization, the world's most reliable and widely quoted research firm.

It is necessary for all social science research. More than just a collection of polls, The Gallup Poll offers in-depth commentary and analysis, placing current topics in a readable, historical context. Survey results are given in a easy-to-use form. Breakdowns by sex, age, race, level of education, and other factors enable the reader to grasp major issues quickly.
