The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, established in 1947 by Elmo Roper is "the leading educational facility in the field of public opinion [and] exists to promote the intelligent, responsible and imaginative use of public opinion in addressing the problems faced by Americans and citizens of other nations."[1] It currently maintains the world's largest archive of survey data[2] which is made available to "academic and policy researchers, the press, business, and others who are interested in poll findings."[3] It is a non-profit, non-partisan organization. The center also provides training for students in survey research and public opinion.
