The POLLS—Review
Presidential job approval is arguably the most important time series in US polling history and likely the most well-understood public opinion measure in popular American culture. This article examines the history of the measure going back to its origination during the Roosevelt administration, the value of presidential job approval in assessing the timeline of US history, the life cycle of presidential approval within administrations, and the rel…
Who’s Tweeting About the President? What Big Survey Data Can Tell Us About Digital Traces
Researchers hoping to make inferences about social phenomena using social media data need to answer two critical questions: What is it that a given social media metric tells us? And who does it tell us about? Drawing from prior work on these questions, we examine whether Twitter sentiment about Barack Obama tells us about Americans’ attitudes toward the president, the attitudes of particular subsets of individuals, or something else entirely. Spe…
The Stability of Economic Correlations over Time
Can Twitter data complement or supplement measures of economic confidence? This possibility was proposed in early work suggesting that sentiment surrounding the word “jobs” on Twitter closely tracked survey measures of consumer confidence. The current study uses knowledge of the processes generating Twitter data to develop and test hypotheses for when social media and survey data might align, and thus when social media processes may reflect surve…
Polling and Democracy
AAPOR was created by public research pioneers more than sixty years ago to encourage scientific research relating to American public opinion, under the conviction that the results of these scientific efforts should be available to the public itself and to the society’s leaders. This task force report has reviewed the current status of these goals. The report devotes major sections and an online appendix to a review of the philosophical and theore…
The Gallup Poll
This work is the only complete compilation of polls taken by the Gallup Organization, the world's most reliable and widely quoted research firm. It is an invaluable tool for ascertaining the pulse of American public opinion in a certain year, as well as for documenting changing perceptions over time of crucial core issues (such as women's rights and health care). It is necessary for all social science research. More than just a collection of poll…

The Religious Switcher in the United States
This paper examines trends, patterns and implications of religious mobility in the United States. Previously published data, and analysis of 1975-76 NORC data indicate that about 25% to 32% of American adults have switched religions (including movement out of religion) in their life times. High and Low Status denominations are gaining members due to switching (more in-mobility than out-mobility), and Baptists, Catholics and Medium Status denomina…
