Datasets

Welcome to the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press data archive, where you can download many of our survey datasets. This page is organized by survey, where each dataset is identified by the name of the survey, and below each dataset are links to the reports released from that data. In some cases, reports draw from multiple datasets.

Typically, survey data are released five months after the reports are issued. The Center’s staff is available to answer questions and to provide limited assistance in importing and analyzing the data. If you have questions about the datasets, or the information you are interested in is more than five months old but is not here, please contact the Pew Research Center.
