Review of Public opinion

Abstract

Reviews the book, "Public opinion, 1935-1946," by H. Cantril (see record 1951-04493-000 ). This is a monumental compendium of opinion poll results for a twelve year period. It is a product of the Office of Public Opinion Research at Princeton prepared by Mrs. Mildred Strunk under Cantril's editorial direction. It includes results of polls conducted by 23 organizations in 16 countries. If this contribution is followed up periodically, say at five year intervals, social science, both pure and applied, will profit enormously from these publications. They will provide an indispensable reservoir of raw data for the understanding and analysis of trends in public opinion on particular issues and subjects.
