This work is the only complete compilation of polls taken by the Gallup Organization, the world's most reliable and widely quoted research firm, in calendar year 2013. It is an invaluable tool for ascertaining the pulse of American public opinion as it evolves over the course of a given year, and—over time—documents changing public perceptions of crucial political, economic, and societal issues. It is a necessity for any social science research.
Here is a complete gathering of more than 500 Gallup Poll reports for the year 2013. A seminal reference, it is home to an abundance of interesting data covering topics such as patriotism, personal wealth, foreign sympathies, optimism, job engagement, presidential approval, and much more. . . .As the entirety of the Gallup Poll reports date back to 1935, it would be fascinating to compare this volume with prior volumes. Users would be able to discern the trends and sharp detours in public opinion throughout the decades. Supplementary information includes a 2013 chronology, explanations of Gallup economic indexes, and a volume index particularly relevant in terms of identifying the many topics broached by the polls. Recommended for academic and public libraries.
