The University of Connecticut's Canadian Studies, the Roper Center, and the University of Toronto's Robarts Library were awarded a small grant to develop a set of finding aids to unlock the Canadian opinion archives for the purpose of strengthening Canadian Studies Programs in both Canada and the United States. The Canadian Embassy funded the pilot project, the result of which is Canadian iPOLL (CPOLL). This paper discusses the decision-making and collaboration in creating this resource. The design of CPOLL is built upon experiences garnered from two other Roper Center databases: iPOLL (U.S. opinion data) and JPOLL (Japanese opinion data). Collaboration with Canadian data experts assured understanding of cultural nuances, political processes, and the nature of data collection in Canada. The paper addresses efforts to assure consistency in the development of metadata, including coding of topics of coverage, and the decisions involving the selection process, from time period for inclusion to assuring a broad set of sources. Finally, this paper explores the lessons learned from this endeavor and implications for further facilitating cross-national opinion research and creating multiple country databases in the future.

How have public attitudes on key political, social and economic issues changed since the Second World War? How do those changes vary across different groups in society? From the 1930s to the early 2000s, the survey organisation Gallup conducted around three thousand surveys of the social, political and economic attitudes of the British public. At the time, these opinion polls provided valuable insights on how the public thought about key issues, personalities and events of the day - the government, the party leaders, international crises, support for specific policies, and so on - with national level results reported in monthly Gallup reports and in the news media. To date, only a small fraction of the original surveys have seen the light of day. A recent discovery by the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at the University of Cornell revealed a veritable treasure trove of important historical Gallup survey data - around 2,500 surveys covering the period between 1945 and 1991 - stored in 'column binary format' based on antiquated IBM punch cards, rendering them inaccessible to most researchers today. Processing and digitising this data presents a major technical challenge, but offers the prospect of enhancing understanding of social and political change in Britain between the 1940s and 1990s.

This project developed a unique dataset of opinion polling by Gallup that enables researchers to analyse dynamics of public opinion in Britain between the 1940s and 1990s. The research team digitised codebooks of Gallup surveys over the period between 1945 and 1991 and converted around 800 individual level surveys. They also created a merged dataset of individual surveys that combines repeated cross-sectional measures of public attitudes and demographics - enabling researchers to track changes in public opinion by subgroup over time. This new data resource allows us to explore long-term trends in social and political attitudes in Britain, their reaction to key events and how they vary across different cross-sections of society.

This repository contains a simple R analysis file that reproduces the figure in the article "Is Public Opinion Stable?" showing media coverage and polling regarding the USA PATRIOT Act. The files include the R syntax file and two data sources (a file containing questions about the Patriot Act from the Roper Center's iPoll databank and a file containing details of New York Times news articles about the policy). Executing the "figure.R" file will produce a PDF figure identical to the one reported in the paper.

In this data directory, we pair observational data of all public opinion polls with at least one question that asked Americans about their attitudes toward withdrawal from a military intervention in the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research Archive’s iPoll Databank with data from a representative survey experiment designed to measure support for withdrawal from the War in Afghanistan. The observational dataset includes 234 survey questions between 1946-2021 and the experiment dataset includes 1,501 responses that were collected between February 27th-March 4th, 2023. We use this data to examine what shapes public support for withdrawing from military interventions on foreign soil.
