The Mansfield Asian Opinion Poll Database
The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, Washington, DC, US
Self-description: "[A] reference for researchers and others to help monitor key public opinion trends in Northeast Asia. We've collected and translated top-of-the line opinion polls on key policy-related issues from major media organizations and other agencies in Japan and South Korea. These polls were previously not available in English or on a central site on the Internet. Although the content of polls may vary, we will focus on issues of salient importance to policymaking and regional diplomacy, such as: * Attitudes toward the United States and other nations in Northeast Asia * Perceptions of China's rising power and potential North Korean threat * Perceptions of the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-South Korea alliances * Regional economic competition * Domestic political trends; support for governments and administrations We'll regularly update the polling data and archive the polls on our website. In addition, we plan to include supplemental commentary and analysis of the polls by leading experts in the Asia policy field."
