The cumulative ALLBUS / GGSS 1980-2006 (German version available, English version 1980-2004 available, new English version forthcoming) comprises opinion poll data from all of the 15 currently existing ALLBUS / GGSS surveys, with a total of 47,947 respondents. An opinion poll is a survey of Public opinion from a particular sample. It comprises all items that have been surveyed at least two times within the regular ALLBUS / GGSS program (replications).
