This survey is part of the Horizon Europe Project "ActEU," which focuses on exploring the dynamics of political attitudes, behaviors, and representation within the multilevel system of the European Union during polarized times. In addition to traditional survey questions, the survey also includes two survey experiments.

The survey was administered through Computer-Assisted Web Interviews (CAWI) via an online access panel. Participants aged between 18 and 75 were selected to reflect the demographic diversity within the studied countries. The survey covers 10 European countries: Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Spain. These countries were strategically chosen to represent the geographic and political diversity of Europe, facilitating cross-national comparisons of political attitudes, behaviors, and representation.

Data collection took place between April 15, 2024, and May 29, 2024. A total of 13,000 respondents participated, with 1,300 respondents per country.

The NOP National Political Surveys were designed principally to ascertain public opinion on political parties, leaders and government, and to record voting intention. In addition, the majority of the surveys included data of topical interest and of social importance.

The Chicago Surveys are part of a long-running series of public opinion surveys conducted by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs every two years. This study is the 2012 Chicago Council Survey, designed to investigate the opinions and attitudes of the general public on matters related to foreign policy, and to define the parameters of public opinion within which decision-makers must operate. The 2012 Chicago Council Survey focuses on respondents' opinions of the United States' leadership role in the world and the challenges the country faces domestically and internationally. The survey covers the following international topics: relations with other countries, role in foreign affairs, possible threats to vital interests in the next ten years, foreign policy goals, benefits or drawbacks of globalization, situations that might justify the use of United States troops in other parts of the world, the number and location of United States military bases overseas, respondent feelings toward people of other countries, opinions on the influence of other countries in the world and how much influence those countries should have, United States participation in potential treaties, the United States' role in the United Nations and NATO, which side the United States should take in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, what measures should be taken to deal with Iran's nuclear program, the military effort in Afghanistan, opinions on efforts to combat terrorism, and the rise of China as a global power. Domestic issues include economic prospects for American children when they become adults, funding for government programs, the fairness of the current distribution of income in the United States, climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and United States dependence on foreign energy sources. Demographic and other background information include age, gender, race/ethnicity, marital status, left-right political self-placement, political affiliation, employment status, highest level of education, and religious preference. Also included are household size and composition, whether the respondent is head of household, household income, housing type, ownership status of living quarters, household Internet access, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) status, and region and state of residence.

We described public views toward harm reduction among Canadian adults and tested a social exposure model predicting support for these contentious services, drawing on theories in the morality policy, intergroup relations, addiction, and media communication literatures. A quota sample of 4645 adults (18+ years), randomly drawn from an online research panel and stratified to match age and sex distributions of adults within and across Canadian provinces, was recruited in June 2018. Participants completed survey items assessing support for harm reduction for people who use drugs (PWUD) and for seven harm reduction interventions. Additional items assessed exposure to media coverage on harm reduction, and scales assessing stigma toward PWUD (α = .72), personal familiarity with PWUD (α = .84), and disease model beliefs about addiction (α = 0.79). Most (64%) Canadians supported harm reduction (provincial estimates = 60% - 73%). Five of seven interventions received majority support, including: outreach (79%), naloxone (72%), drug checking (70%), needle distribution (60%) and supervised drug consumption (55%). Low-threshold opioid agonist treatment and safe inhalation interventions received less support (49% and 44%). Our social exposure model, adjusted for respondent sex, household income, political views, and education, exhibited good fit and accounted for 17% of variance in public support for harm reduction. Personal familiarity with PWUD and disease model beliefs about addiction were directly associated with support (βs = .07 and -0.10, respectively), and indirectly influenced public support via stigmatized attitudes toward PWUD (βs = 0.01 and -0.01, respectively). Strategies to increase support for harm reduction could problematize certain disease model beliefs (e.g., “There are only two possibilities for an alcoholic or drug addict – permanent abstinence or death”) and creating opportunities to reduce social distance between PWUD, the public, and policy makers.

This data collection consists of public opinion surveys of the adult German population in December, 1968. Respondents were asked about their economic situation, the likelihood of inflation, the problems facing their communities and administrative responses to those problems, and their opinions of the chancellor, president, and the German political parties. See also the related collections, PRECONDITIONS OF THE FORMATION OF PUBLIC OPINION IN THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, 1964 (ICPSR 7014), and PUBLIC OPINION SURVEYS: WEST GERMANY, NOVEMBER 1968 (ICPSR 7090).

Firms in this industry take surveys from a sample of the population and extrapolate the data to make generalities about public opinion.

Market researchers investigate clients' target markets' behaviour, values and opinions, providing insights that allow them to tailor their products, services and marketing. Researchers rely on hefty European research and development expenditure to fuel demand for market research. The surge in digitalisation has opened new doors for market research providers while intensifying competition. Artificial intelligence is increasingly important in analysing, identifying and generating research insights from social media posts using a flood of data. Meanwhile, digital surveys have allowed research companies to expand their outreach, save resources and costs and often attain more accurate and comprehensive insights for clients. Over the five years through 2025, industry revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.1% to reach €25.2 billion. The high inflationary environment in recent years has taken a toll on market research budgets. A sharp contraction in business sentiment squeezed corporate profit in 2022, discouraging companies from investing in research and development activities and negatively affecting professional research providers. A greater availability of data and alternative research methods means that researchers are competing more and more with in-house research departments. In 2025, industry revenue is expected to drop by 0.3% as consumers are finding their research needs met by AI tools such as ChatGPT, however, this trend is expected to be short-lived as research companies will strive to prove their value to clients. Over the five years through 2030, industry revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.7% to reach €30.3 billion. Over the coming years, market research companies will face higher external competition from technology specialists leveraging insights internally, constraining revenue growth. Nonetheless, researchers will benefit from expanding online advertising activity. Those incorporating advanced data analytics systems and digital market research technology will remain competitive and benefit from greater digitalisation. Smart mobile surveys will also become an invaluable tool for consumer research companies.

Response rate

51% response rate This year’s survey results were compared to the FY22 Country Opinion Survey, which had a response rate of 42% (N=351). Comparing responses across Country Opinion Surveys reflects changes in attitudes over time, as well as changes in respondent samples, methodology, and the survey instrument itself. To reduce the influence of the latter factor, only those questions with similar response scales/options were analyzed. However, the stakeholder compositions for both survey years should be taken into consideration when interpreting these comparisons, as there were government principals and local government respondents in FY22, but none in FY25, as well as university students included in FY25 but not in FY22.

The 2017 Chicago Council Survey continues the Chicago Council on Global Affairs' series of investigations into American public opinion on United States foreign policy. These studies were conducted quadrennially from 1974 to 2002, biennially from 2002 to 2014, and are now conducted annually.

These surveys of Macedonian public opinion were conducted on behalf of the International Republican Institute by the Brima market research firm. The surveys includes questions concerning general attitudes toward the government, the internal political situation in Macedonia (2015-2016), the implementation of the Przino Agreement and so forth.

Data was collected over four time periods (June 6-15, 2015/ Sept 29-October 5, 2015 / January 16-27, 2016 / April 19-25, 2016) using in-person, face-to-face methodology by trained professional interviewers.

The sample was prepared using the State Statistical Office data (2002 census results) for the population aged 18 and older, considering the structure of the population according to age, gender, education, type of housing, national affiliation and region and updated according to estimates and primary information, collected by Brima.

Stratification was based on three stages: first, the number of respondents for each of the regions was specified in proportion to the size of the population aged 18 and older that live in it. Second, the sampling plan consisted of 164 sampling points located according to urban/rural split, municipality size and nationality diffusion. Third, the selection of households was based on random route method, whereby in urban areas, every third household on the left-hand side of the street was selected. In rural areas, the wave-wise approach is applied and the selected household is every fourth inhabited house/dwelling on both sides of the interviewer’s route/track, counting from the first house on the left.

This poll was conducted with support from the United States Agency for International Development.
