Survey Research That Fuels Thought Leadership & Meaningful Insights

The Gallup Panel -- the largest probability-based research panel in the U.S. -- can help you reach a nationally representative sample, no matter your target population and research goals.

About

A Reliable and Representative Panel of U.S. Adults, Grounded in Rigorous Science

We created the Gallup Panel in 2004 to establish a probability-based panel that is fully representative of the U.S. adult population.

Our goal: Design the most efficient and effective way to collect high-quality, accurate data on the topics that are most important to our clients and the leaders they inform.

Our partners use custom survey research powered by the Gallup Panel to inform:

  • thought leadership
  • academic research
  • market and customer research

At the core of every Gallup Panel project is the trusted and credible Gallup brand, which helps clients who want to amplify their research findings.

Our clients turn to the Gallup Panel for:

Our probability-based recruitment sets us apart:

  • Address-based sampling (ABS) and random-digit-dialing (RDD) methods ensure the Gallup Panel is representative of the U.S. population.
  • The Gallup Panel excludes the self-selection bias typical in opt-in panels.

Our consultative, full-service approach sets us apart:

  • Our experts use the Gallup Panel to design the perfect study to help you achieve your research goals.
  • From survey design to data collection management, data weighting and vetting, and analysis, we use the Gallup Panel to deliver results you can be confident in.

The size and efficiency of our panel sets us apart:

  • With more than 100,000 panelists and detailed demographic profiling, the Gallup Panel supports extensive studies of broad national samples and hard-to-reach, low-incidence subpopulations.
  • You can use the Gallup Panel to reach underrepresented groups and better understand specific audiences.

The commitment of our panelists sets us apart:

  • The random selection of panelists, coupled with high-quality survey experiences, yields high survey response rates.
  • This engagement translates into trust: Gallup Panel members willingly share their attitudes and experiences, including on sensitive topics; agree to participate in qualitative interviews; and more.

The retention of our panelists sets us apart:

  • The Gallup Panel has a high response rate and panel member retention, enabling clients to conduct longitudinal studies to track changes with the same respondents over time.
  • Opt-in panels suffer high attrition rates, making it nearly impossible to track thoughts, behaviors and opinions over time among the same respondents.
