Q
I would like to cite Gallup material in my work. How do I obtain permission to cite Gallup, and what is the correct citation?
A
All questions regarding permission to cite Gallup materials can be addressed to permissions@gallup.com.

If you intend to simply publish a single result in the form of a contextual citation, verification and permission are not required. You will need to state the poll results in a manner similar to this; "...about two out of every three Americans (65%) claim to be... (Gallup Poll MMM DD-DD 'YY)" or "...according to a MMM DD-DD 'YY Gallup Poll, two-thirds of Americans feel that..." The important point to cite (beside the statistic itself) is the survey dates within the sentence. We would also appreciate a footnote with complete interviewing dates and sample sizes and the inclusion of a URL that links directly to the data you are mentioning.
