Or just the results?
With the Roper Center’s iPoll, you not only get to see the results, you can also see the actual questions asked and the results for each one.
iPoll can be searched by keyword. Say, maybe something like “Sarah Palin AND Tina Fey” and we can see the question, “How much if anything have you heard about each of the following? Have you heard a lot, a little or nothing at all?…Skits on Saturday Night Live with actress Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin?” That question was reported by the Pew Weekly News Interest Index Poll this October.
By the way, 42% of those asked heard a lot about it, 30% heard a little, 27% heard nothing at all, and 1% didn’t know or refused to answer (Survey by Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Methodology: Conducted by Opinion Research Corporation, October 3-October 6, 2008 and based on telephone interviews with a national adult sample of 1,006.)
Looking at individual questions is pretty nice but that’s not all. There is also a section of the site devoted to browsing poll results by topic. Broad topics include the economy, the government, personal beliefs, education and, of course, the election! All of this adds up to an important tool for following public opinion on issues that matter to you.
And if you want even more political and elections information don’t forget to look at the growing number of links in my Delicious collection. Try the terms elections or politics for example.
