What is the mission of the Gallup World Poll and how can I find out more about it?

The Gallup Organization is entirely responsible for the management, design, control, and funding of the Gallup World Poll. For the past 70 years, Gallup has been committed to the principle that accurate dissemination of the opinions and aspirations of people around the globe is vital to understanding the world in which we live. Gallup's mission is to provide such information in an objective, reliable, and scientifically grounded manner. Gallup is not associated with any political orientation, party, or advocacy group and does not accept partisan entities as clients.

Any individual, institution, or governmental agency may access the Gallup World Poll, regardless of nationality. The identities of individual clients and all surveyed respondents will remain confidential.

Findings and insights from the Gallup World Poll are available on both a public and proprietary basis. A selection of key findings will regularly appear on Gallup's Web sites and may be accessed for free. However, the full set of global and country-specific data -- including scores of in-depth articles and detailed analyses -- are accessible to clients for a fee that is based on the amount of data and time of experts used.
