How do I get microdata from Gallup Analytics?
Answer
The University Libraries' license with Gallup requires us to manage individual access to the microdata (individual response-level data). To start the process of requesting data, e-mail datahelp@gmu.edu. In the e-mail, describe the dataset, variables, and time period you need. These data are only available to current George Mason faculty, students, and staff.

Gallup Analytics Usage Guidelines
George Mason University users may download, use, and manipulate the data. They may create reports and publish externally, redistribute, and manipulate such reports, so long as such externally distributed reports do not contain only Gallup data and so long as Gallup data are not included in a report in a quantity or specificity that could reasonably be deemed to be a substitute for acquiring the data from Gallup. Reports must include attribution when Gallup data are included without modification or are used as a direct source of analysis.
