Public Opinion
- Roper Center -- iPollA full-text retrieval system, the iPOLL online database is organized at the question level, providing the tools to sift through nearly a half million questions asked on national public opinion surveys since 1935 and updated daily. iPoll does not include time-series data. One potential workaround is to search a specific, well-known polling group and look for questions that have been repeated over time.
