Gallup Respondent-Level Data: Gallup Poll Social Series (GPSS)

UID: 10176
Description
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. The topics are arranged thematically across 12 surveys. Gallup administers these surveys during the same month every year and includes the survey's core trend questions in the same order each administration. Using this consistent standard allows for unprecedented analysis of changes in trend data that are not susceptible to question order bias and seasonal effects. Respondent-level data from January 2019 onwards is available for request. Topics covered are listed below.
  • January: Mood of the Nation
  • February: World Affairs
  • March: Environment
  • April: Economy and Finance
  • May: Values and Beliefs
  • June: Minority Rights and Relations (conducted periodically)
  • July: Consumption Habits
  • August: Work and Education
  • September: Governance
  • October: Crime
  • November: Health
  • December: Lifestyle (conducted periodically)
