Opinion: Government Publications

Government agencies conduct surveys on a variety of topics.  Some examples of public survey reports include:

• Smoke-free policies receive high levels of public support and compliance
  (Online government document from the CDC)
• Endgame for the West in Afghanistan? : explaining the decline in support for the war in Afghanistan in the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, France and Germany
  (Online book from the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College)
• The Illinois motorist opinion survey : summary of results
  (Online report of a survey conducted for the Illinois Department of Transportation)

Many reports are available online (as the documents above), and others are available in print in the Government Publications section on 4th floor.  To find more, some places to try include:

• Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports - the CRS performs research for members of Congress, providing analysis that can inform policies; many of these reports include public opinion.  No central place to search all of these, but CRS Reports at UNT provides a place to search a large collection.
• Search the library catalog for "public opinion", with a limit to "Government Publications" as the location:
