A large number of Monmouth University Polling Institute polls are now live in the archive, and we are adding more every day! We have processed almost 1400 questions in iPoll, and 40 studies with full data sets available in ASCII, SPSS, Stata, and CSV. Some of the studies have scanned reports, press releases and other materials. Here’s a link to the collection of Monmouth questions in Roper iPoll.
We recently received 825 datasets from the University of Hong Kong’s Public Opinion Programme. This collection represents the views of over 698,000 respondents from over 583 questions, with many repeated trend items from 2007-2018. These datasets will be made available over the coming months.

Studies of post-World War II public opinion in Germany are  exceedingly rare. However, a selection of Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach surveys from this time, recently converted from column binary format by the Roper Center, are now available. These fascinating surveys measured the opinions of national adults in Germany between February 1950 and August 1952.
