http://www.apa.org/journals/psp.html

This is the link to the index for all subject matter in the General Social Survey (GSS), a massive survey program administered by the National Opinion Research Council (NORC). Scroll down the lengthy list of subjects or search by subject and you will find thousands of questions about specific topics asked in the context of specific survey areas. The results will give you the question, along with the answers by year and number of responses. I searched for "homosexuality" and found a question about the causes of homosexuality (choice vs. "born that way") and it was amazing to see how the answers had changed over a period of time. Aside from being a rich source of social history, you can see various ways survey questions are worded:

This is the site for reports written by National Opinion Research Council (NORC) based on data compiled from the General Social Survey and other large databases (particularly the federal government).

After accessing this site of one of the best national newspapers in the country, search for the link to the feature in each Sunday's "Outlook" section, entitled "Unconventional Wisdom" by Richard Morin. Only two weeks of papers are archived, but each week you are sure to find some fascinating facts and scintillating stats from social science research. A recent article provided the formula for computing the margin of sampling error for public opinion polls. In case you are dying to know (most polls contain this information in fine print), it is {+ or - 1.96 x {square root of .25 x n-1}, when "n" is the size of the randomly selected sample. Thus the margin of sampling error for a random survey of 1,000 is plus or minus 3 percentage points:

There are many excellent websites from which you can access results of polls and surveys on attitudes on just about any subject. Some will allow you to participate in online surveys and polls. Aside from providing valuable information about what people are thinking, the surveys and polls are useful for learning how questions are worded--sometimes to get fair responses, sometimes to skew the responses.
