Religion and Civic Virtue at Home and Abroad
Gallup polls and other surveys reveal how widespread religious belief affects the attitudes and behavior of the American populace. It is necessary to examine religion on two levels: surface religion (such as being religious for social reasons) versus deep transforming faith (perhaps best measured by the way faith is lived out in service to others). Overseas as well, the vast majority of people adhere to some religion, with most continuing to beli…

Religion in America
This article reviews recent survey indicators on religi ̇ous life in America. Generally the surveys reveal a rising tide of religious interest. The “highly spiritually committed” are more satisfied with their lives, more tolerant of others, and more concerned with the betterment of society. Despite the high interest in religion, there are glaring inconsistencies: levels of morality and ethics remain low, hunger is a reality for many Americans, an…

The Public Opinion Referendum
George Gallup discusses a new technique for gauging public opinion which is designed to complement regular public opinion surveys. Based on a refinement of the “barometer” areas approach, it more nearly resembles an election and requires less expertise to carry out than a regular survey does. Results of the first large-scale trial of the technique are reported

The Changing Climate for Public Opinion Research
The public for public opinion polls has increased greatly in numbers and somewhat in sophistication during the past twenty years. Criticism has come heavily from academic circles; support largely from the layman. Polling errors in 1948 strengthened the position of surveys in the long run, and were partially responsible for the good showing made by the polls in 1956

The Future Direction of Election Polling
In an article in this journal in the spring of 1951, Dr. Gallup briefly mentioned the “pinpoint” sampling technique which was being used in the prediction of elections. The author here describes that technique in detail, shows how it has been used in more recent elections, and attempts to evaluate its usefulness

difficult, perhaps impossible, to measure precisely what effect the endorsement of a political candidate by union officials will have on the political thinking of the membership. But some evidence is at hand which, while far from conclusive, suggests that labor union members do not necessarily vote in blocs in response to appeals by the union, no matter how much they may respect the head of the union for other things and follow his lead unquestio…
The Gallup Poll and the 1950 Election
BEYOND reaffirming the danger with which all prediction in the social sciences is fraught, the 1948 presidential election spurred public opinion researchers to both a reexamination of existing techniques and redoubled effort to develop less fallible methods of prediction. In this article, Dr. Gallup analyzes the lessons which were learned in 1948 and various refinements of method which enabled the American Institute of Public Opinion to predict m…
