The Cato Institute’s Project on Public Opinion conducts high quality public opinion surveys, in‐depth studies, and experiments to investigate what Americans think about important public policy issues, what values and assumptions motivate their beliefs, and how their opinion changes and evolves. Our data‐driven social science research informs policymakers, opinion leaders, policy experts, journalists and the general public so that they may better understand how public attitudes are shaping America. Project scholars are active members of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and adhere to the highest standards of academic rigor and excellence.
