"Founded
in 1947, the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research is the leading
educational facility in the field of public opinion. The Center exists
to promote the intelligent, responsible and imaginative use of public
opinion in addressing the problems faced by Americans and citizens of
other nations. In an increasingly complex and interdependent global
environment, the Roper Center hopes to foster increased international
understanding and to promote cross-national research. Through the
maintenance of the world's largest archive of survey data, and through
its programs, presentations and advanced research, the Roper Center
strives to improve the practice of survey research and the use of
survey data in the United States and abroad."
Data is provided by sources such as ABC News, Gallup Organization, and Pew Research Center, among many others.
