Since its establishment as the British Institute of Public Opinion in 1937, Gallup has been asking questions of the general public virtually every week, even throughout World War II. This volume is a selection of numerous questions that have been asked over the past 50 years. Due to the wealth of data in the Gallup files, the author has had to be selective in his approach to material included in the text, but hopes that the spread and depth of information will satisfy general readers. The book attempts to chronicle the changing views of the British public on the issues of their times and to show what they thought about events not only at home but also in the wider world. The results contained herein have been taken from adults in Great Britain and are normally based on samples of approximately 1000 cases.
