Why are there fewer survey questions in 2020 than 2016? Some differences result because of different amounts of attention to different issues. But most differences result because of changing survey methods. Although the number of public opinion surveys has increased over time, the Roper Topic Tracker focuses on probability-based surveys, which have actually been decreasing in frequency in recent years. Also check out Roper’s collection of non-probability samples and other recently developed methods.
