Gallup's Economic Confidence Index combines the responses of Gallup's Economic Conditions and Economic Outlook measures. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

The Gallup U.S. Daily Tracking poll was conducted between 2008 and 2017 to collect Americans' opinions and perceptions on political and economic current events. It included two parallel surveys, the U.S. Daily and the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index. Gallup interviews approximately 1,000 U.S. adults every day, half of whom respond to the U.S. Daily survey and the other half respond to the Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index survey. The U.S. Daily survey includes information about political affiliation, presidential approval ratings, economic confidence, and religion. The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index includes information on health insurance, exercise, dietary choices, and overall well-being.

Gallup's Economic Confidence Index is based on the combined responses to two questions, the first asking Americans to rate economic conditions in this country today, and second, whether they think economic conditions in the country as a whole are getting better or getting worse. Results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 3,500 national adults; margin of error is ±2 percentage points.

In 2018, the nationwide Well-Being Index score of the United States was 61.2.

The Gallup World Poll is an ongoing global survey that collects respondents' opinions on a variety of topics. In geographic regions that have low access to telephone services, survey staff go to that area and to ask residents questions in-person. The Gallup World Poll includes core questions on business and economics, citizen engagement, communications and technology, education and families, environment and energy, food and shelter, government and politics, health, law and order, religion and ethics, social issues, well-being, and work. Additional questions may be included or edited depending on geographic location.

Gallup has developed Gallup Analytics, which allows Users to access data from the Gallup World Poll, the Gallup U.S. Daily tracking and the historical data from the Gallup Poll Social Series. Gallup Analytics includes questions and indexes covering topics such as economics, politics and well-being.

The Gallup Poll Social Series is a set of public opinion surveys designed to monitor U.S. adults' (aged 18 and up) views on numerous social, economic, and political topics.

Abstract

Gallup Worldwide Research continually surveys residents in more than 150 countries, representing more than 98% of the world's adult population, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. Gallup typically surveys 1,000 individuals in each country, using a standard set of core questions that has been translated into the major languages of the respective country. In some regions, supplemental questions are asked in addition to core questions. Face-to-face interviews are approximately 1 hour, while telephone interviews are about 30 minutes. In many countries, the survey is conducted once per year, and fieldwork is generally completed in two to four weeks. The Country Dataset Details spreadsheet displays each country's sample size, month/year of the data collection, mode of interviewing, languages employed, design effect, margin of error, and details about sample coverage.

Gallup is entirely responsible for the management, design, and control of Gallup Worldwide Research. For the past 70 years, Gallup has been committed to the principle that accurately collecting and disseminating the opinions and aspirations of people around the globe is vital to understanding our world. Gallup's mission is to provide information in an objective, reliable, and scientifically grounded manner. Gallup is not associated with any political orientation, party, or advocacy group and does not accept partisan entities as clients. Any individual, institution, or governmental agency may access the Gallup Worldwide Research regardless of nationality. The identities of clients and all surveyed respondents will remain confidential.

Sampling procedure

SAMPLING AND DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY With some exceptions, all samples are probability based and nationally representative of the resident population aged 15 and older. The coverage area is the entire country including rural areas, and the sampling frame represents the entire civilian, non-institutionalized, aged 15 and older population of the entire country. Exceptions include areas where the safety of interviewing staff is threatened, scarcely populated islands in some countries, and areas that interviewers can reach only by foot, animal, or small boat.

Telephone surveys are used in countries where telephone coverage represents at least 80% of the population or is the customary survey methodology (see the Country Dataset Details for detailed information for each country). In Central and Eastern Europe, as well as in the developing world, including much of Latin America, the former Soviet Union countries, nearly all of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, an area frame design is used for face-to-face interviewing.

The typical Gallup Worldwide Research survey includes at least 1,000 surveys of individuals. In some countries, oversamples are collected in major cities or areas of special interest. Additionally, in some large countries, such as China and Russia, sample sizes of at least 2,000 are collected. Although rare, in some instances the sample size is between 500 and 1,000. See the Country Dataset Details for detailed information for each country.

FACE-TO-FACE SURVEY DESIGN

FIRST STAGE In countries where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of 100 to 135 ultimate clusters (Sampling Units), consisting of clusters of households. Sampling units are stratified by population size and or geography and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size, otherwise simple random sampling is used. Samples are drawn independent of any samples drawn for surveys conducted in previous years.

There are two methods for sample stratification:

METHOD 1: The sample is stratified into 100 to 125 ultimate clusters drawn proportional to the national population, using the following strata: 1) Areas with population of at least 1 million 2) Areas 500,000-999,999 3) Areas 100,000-499,999 4) Areas 50,000-99,999 5) Areas 10,000-49,999 6) Areas with less than 10,000

The strata could include additional stratum to reflect populations that exceed 1 million as well as areas with populations less than 10,000. Worldwide Research Methodology and Codebook Copyright © 2008-2012 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved. 8

METHOD 2:

A multi-stage design is used. The country is first stratified by large geographic units, and then by smaller units within geography. A minimum of 33 Primary Sampling Units (PSUs), which are first stage sampling units, are selected. The sample design results in 100 to 125 ultimate clusters.

SECOND STAGE

Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day, and where possible, on different days. If an interviewer cannot obtain an interview at the initial sampled household, he or she uses a simple substitution method. Refer to Appendix C for a more in-depth description of random route procedures.

THIRD STAGE

Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households. Interviewers list all eligible household members and their ages or birthdays. The respondent is selected by means of the Kish grid (refer to Appendix C) in countries where face-to-face interviewing is used. The interview does not inform the person who answers the door of the selection criteria until after the respondent has been identified. In a few Middle East and Asian countries where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected using the Kish grid from among all eligible adults of the matching gender.

TELEPHONE SURVEY DESIGN

In countries where telephone interviewing is employed, random-digit-dial (RDD) or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In select countries where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random respondent selection is achieved by using either the latest birthday or Kish grid method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day. Appointments for callbacks that fall within the survey data collection period are made.

PANEL SURVEY DESIGN

Prior to 2009, United States data were collected using The Gallup Panel. The Gallup Panel is a probability-based, nationally representative panel, for which all members are recruited via random-digit-dial methodology and is only used in the United States. Participants who elect to join the panel are committing to the completion of two to three surveys per month, with the typical survey lasting 10 to 15 minutes. The Gallup Worldwide Research panel survey is conducted over the telephone and takes approximately 30 minutes. No incentives are given to panel participants.

Research instrument

QUESTION DESIGN

Many of the Worldwide Research questions are items that Gallup has used for years. When developing additional questions, Gallup employed its worldwide network of research and political scientists1 to better understand key issues with regard to question development and construction and data gathering. Hundreds of items were developed, tested, piloted, and finalized. The best questions were retained for the core questionnaire and organized into indexes. Most items have a simple dichotomous ("yes or no") response set to minimize contamination of data because of cultural differences in response styles and to facilitate cross-cultural comparisons.

The Gallup Worldwide Research measures key indicators such as Law and Order, Food and Shelter, Job Creation, Migration, Financial Wellbeing, Personal Health, Civic Engagement, and Evaluative Wellbeing and demonstrates their correlations with world development indicators such as GDP and Brain Gain. These indicators assist leaders in understanding the broad context of national interests and establishing organization-specific correlations between leading indexes and lagging economic outcomes.

Gallup organizes its core group of indicators into the Gallup World Path. The Path is an organizational conceptualization of the seven indexes and is not to be construed as a causal model. The individual indexes have many properties of a strong theoretical framework. A more in-depth description of the questions and Gallup indexes is included in the indexes section of this document. In addition to World Path indexes, Gallup Worldwide Research questions also measure opinions about national institutions, corruption, youth development, community basics, diversity, optimism, communications, religiosity, and numerous other topics. For many regions of the world, additional questions that are specific to that region or country are included in surveys. Region-specific questions have been developed for predominantly Muslim nations, former Soviet Union countries, the Balkans, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and India, South Asia, and Israel and the Palestinian Territories.

The questionnaire is translated into the major conversational languages of each country. The translation process starts with an English, French, or Spanish version, depending on the region. One of two translation methods may be used.

METHOD 1: Two independent translations are completed. An independent third party, with some knowledge of survey research methods, adjudicates the differences. A professional translator translates the final version back into the source language.

METHOD 2: A translator

Each of the monthly Gallup Poll Social Series (GPSS) micro-datasets has traditionally come with its own "codebook" (although it's really just a listing of variables, codes are not explained), in Microsoft Excel format. This combined variable listing, provided by Gallup Inc. on July 3, 2024, combines them into one file, potentially making it easier to discover what survey questions were asked in which month.

This survey shows the Wells Fargo / Gallup U.S. Small Business Index from 2011 to 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the small business index score was 72, an increase of 12 points from the third quarter of 2020, but a significant decrease from the first quarter of 2020, when the index had a value of 132.

Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an employer who provides a regular paycheck. Good jobs are essential to a thriving economy, a growing middle class, a booming entrepreneurial sector and, most importantly, human development. Creating as many good jobs as possible should be the No. 1 priority for business and government leaders everywhere.

This statistic shows the Well-Being Index score of the United States in 2018, for the leading states. The Well-Being Index is calculated by Gallup using a measuring system from 1 to 100 and includes questions regarding health, personal life, emotional well-being or work environment. In 2018, Hawaii was the U.S. state with the highest Well-Being Index score.

The Database of Selected British Gallup Opinion Polls is a sample product, developed at The Data Archive by the Opinion Polls Unit, which illustrates how the texts and data might be used. The aim was to produce an information system which could be used by non-specialists in the field of data analysis - practitioners like journalists, teachers or legislators who could use a CD-ROM publication to find out what attitudinal changes had occurred over time or how people had indicated they would vote in the recent or distant past. It was also intended as a tool to show funders the potential of the material.
The CD-ROM contains a 'Microsoft (MS) Access' database, which combines survey text and matching SPSS output in the form of calculated frequencies, some of which are depicted in graphical form, and a text search facility. There are three versions of the database to suit different users' needs; version 2 for MS Access 2.0, version 7 for MS Access 95/7.0 and version 8 for MS Access 97. Potential users are advised to request the database version that is specific to their own version of MS Access.
The hierarchical pathway system is a series of forms navigated by using buttons and includes a description of the surveys as well as additional information on the changes made to the text for inputting purposes. A text only version of the original question text and calculated frequencies, together with the accompanying data and documentation files is also available on request.
SPSS portable files are also provided on the CD in order that the user has the option of carrying out further data manipulation.
A further directory consisting of 27 SPSS portable files containing coded parliamentary constituency information is also provided, along with a key to the codes. Users should note that constituency information for years 1958-1964 is currently unavailable.

Gallup asked people in more than 140 countries how they were feeling. Find out what they said and how you compare.

Gallup's Job Creation Index is the net of Gallup's Job Market measure, subtracting the percentage of workers who say their employer is letting people go and reducing the size of its workforce from the percentage who say their employer is hiring new workers and expanding the size of its workforce. Weekly results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 4,000 working adults; margin of error is ±2 percentage points.

Gallup defines engaged employees as those who are involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace. Gallup categorizes workers as "engaged" based on their responses to key workplace elements it has found predict important organizational performance outcomes. Weekly results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 3,500 U.S. adults who are employed for an employer; margin of error is ±2 percentage points.

Between March 2020 and May 2022, Gallup conducted a web survey on members of the Gallup Panel, a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults aged 18 and above, to assess attitudes and behaviors related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

From March 13 through April 26, 2020, approximately 1,200 responses were collected daily from a randomly selected sample of panel members. From April 27 to August 16, 2020, approximately 500 responses were collected daily. Between August 17, 2020 and December 5, 2021, the survey was conducted monthly with a two-week response period. From January to May 2022, the survey was conducted quarterly. Survey responses have been adjusted for the probability of selection and for nonresponse, with weights derived from data on gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education and region as reported in the latest Current Population Survey.

The survey was conducted by the Gallup Organization. A national cross-section of head of households or spouse in any household with total savings and investments of $10,000 or more (57,428) were interviewed in December 2002 to collect information on individual's investment decisions, and to create the Optimism Index. A multi-country version of this survey was also conducted.

Please Note: This dataset is part of the historical CISER Data Archive Collection and is also available at the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research as individual monthly downloads. We highly recommend using the Roper Center versions as they may make this dataset available in multiple data formats in the future.
