The Lowy Institute Poll reports the results of the Institute's annual nationally representative telephone opinion survey, conducted in 2015 by market research company I-view, with supplementary polling commissioned by the Lowy Institute and conducted by Newspoll. Supplementary Newspoll collections are not provided in the dataset. For the annual survey, I-view surveyed 1200 Australian adults between 20 February and 8 March 2015. Four supplementary polls were conducted by Newspoll on 13-15 February (1211 adults), 10-12 April (1215 adults), 1-3 May (1213 adults) and 22-24 May (1210 adults), the findings from these are in the reports but not in the data. A number of the questions in the Poll were first asked in previous Lowy Institute Polls, or have been adapted from questions asked in those years. Repeating questions in successive years allows the comparison of public opinion on a single issue over time, building trend data on important international policy issues. Some of the questions this year are identical to questions asked previously by other survey organisations, which allows for the comparison of public opinion internationally. Several of the questions in this year’s Poll were modeled on those asked by other polling organisations, including the Council on Foreign Relations, Transatlantic Trends and Pew Research Center. Other questions this year drew from work of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, and polling on energy sources by Bisconti Research for the Nuclear Energy Institute.The order of questions in the questionnaires was different from the order presented in the report supplied in documentation.

This is the twelfth annual Lowy institute Poll. The 2016 Lowy Institute Poll reports the annual results on nationally representative telephone opinion survey, conducted between 26 February and 15 March 2016 with a sample size of 1202 Australian adults. 2016 is a year of elections, with a federal election in Australia, a presidential election in the United States, and the selection of a new Secretary-General of the United Nations. The 2016 Lowy Institute Poll provides new data on how Australians feel about these various contests. Some of the questions in this survey are identical to questions asked previously or by other survey organisations, including Pew Research Center, The Scanlon Foundation, The Environics Institute for Survey Research and Chicago Council on Global Affairs, which allows for the comparison of public opinion internationally. The order of questions in the questionnaire is different from the order presented in affiliated report. The surveys were funded entirely by the Lowy Institute for International Policy.

Abstract (en): These data are being released as a preliminary version to facilitate early access to the study for research purposes. This collection has not been fully processed by ICPSR at this time, and data are released in the format provided by the principal investigators. As the study is processed and given enhanced features by ICPSR in the future, users will be able to download the updated versions of the study. Please report any data errors or problems to user support, and we will work with you to resolve any data-related issues. The American National Election Study (ANES): 2016 Pilot Study sought to test new instrumentation under consideration for potential inclusion in the ANES 2016 Time Series Study, as well as future ANES studies. Much of the content is based on proposals from the ANES user community submitted through the Online Commons page, found on the ANES home page. The survey included questions about preferences in the presidential primary, stereotyping, the economy, discrimination, race and racial consciousness, police use of force, and numerous policy issues, such as immigration law, health insurance, and federal spending. It was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel, an international market research firm that administers polls that collect information about politics, public affairs, products, brands, as well as other topics of general interest. The purpose of this study was to test questions for inclusion on the ANES 2016 Time Series, as well as other future ANES studies. Respondents were selected from the YouGov panel survey administered on the Internet. Response to these surveys are on a volunteer basis. The data are not weighted. This collection contains two weight variables, WEIGHT and WEIGHT_SPSS. The variable WEIGHT is the weight for analysis that is intended to generalize to the population. The variable WEIGHT_SPSS is the weight recommended to be used by SPSS users not using the Complex Samples procedures and will account for the smaller effective sample size. For more information on weights, please see the ANES 2016 Pilot Study Codebook and User Guide found within the zip package, as well as visit the ANES Data Center Web site. United States citizens age 18 or older. Smallest Geographic Unit: state The study was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel. The YouGov panel consists of a large and diverse set of over a million respondents who have volunteered to complete surveys online and who regularly receive invitations to do so. They receive points usually worth about 21 to 50 cents for each survey they complete. The points are redeemable for various gift cards, a YouGov t-shirt, or UNICEF a donation. A respondent has to complete about 40 surveys to be eligible for any reward. Respondents were selected from the YouGov panel by sample matching. Matching is intended to make the individuals who complete the survey represent the population on the variables used for matching. Respondents were matched to United States citizens in the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) sample by gender, age, race, and education, and to the November 2010 Current Population Survey (CPS) for voter registration and turnout status, and to the 2007 Pew Religious Life Survey on interest in politics and party identification. 1,200 individuals from the YouGov panel were selected for the ANES Pilot Study to match the target population defined by the ACS, CPS, and Pew surveys. After data collection the sample was weighted by YouGov using propensity scores using a logistic regression with age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, region, and party identification included in the model.

In May 2025, 86 percent of Russians approved of the activities of the Russian President Vladimir Putin. The popularity level was nine percentage points higher than in September 2022, when the figure declined following the announcement of a partial mobilization in the country. After Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February 2022, the approval rating increased. During the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020, the figure declined. What has shifted Putin’s approval rating? Since his first presidential term started in 2000, Vladimir Putin's highest approval rating has been measured at 88 percent, when he was the country's prime minister. In 2008, as a result of the war with Georgia, Russia recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In 2014, Russia annexed the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, viewing it as a historic reunification. Despite Western sanctions that were imposed on the country in response the violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the approval rating remained high over the following years. In February and March 2019, among the reasons behind the decline in approval were a pension reform and a retirement age hike. Constitutional amendments before the 2024 presidential election During his state of-the-nation speech in January 2020, Vladimir Putin suggested amendments to the Russian Constitution, some of which are aimed at restructuring the executive power within the country’s administration. Regarding the amendments, 47 percent of Russians believed that they were designed to prepare the political system for the period after 2024, allowing Putin to stay in power in a role different from a president. In March 2020, an amendment was proposed to the Constitution to reset the previous presidential terms of Putin, allowing him to stay as a president until 2036. The amendments were approved in an all-Russian voting with nearly 78 percent of Russians supporting them.
