The National Network of State Polls (NNSP) is a confederation of organizations that conduct state-level surveys. The network serves several functions for members and non-members alike. First, it promotes the collection and use of state survey data. Members are encouraged to share questions, methodologies and results. The NNSP publishes a quarterly newsletter highlighting findings from recent state polls and providing information likely to be of interest to survey researchers.
The NNSP's growing archive of state survey data is housed at the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.. The data archives give researchers electronic access to a large number of studies conducted in different states through the Odum Institute's Public Opinion Poll Question Database. Members and non-members may use the archives at no charge.
The NNSP member institutions range from private research firms to large universities, many of whom deposit their state surveys with the NNSP. Organizations that conduct statewide surveys are eligible to apply for membership. Individual non-members can also join subscribe to our newsletter. The NNSP is now headquartered at the Survey Research Center at the University of Kentucky. For additional information about the NNSP, contact Chairperson Dr. Ronald E. Langley, 859-257-4684.
