Presidential Approval Statistics
A student wanted to compare approval ratings for George W. Bush and Harry Truman. The Roper Center for Public Opinion links to a chart, Presidential Approval, comparing approval ratings for all presidents from Franklin Roosevelt through George W. Bush.

Roper Center Polls: alternative access to LexisNexis
LexisNexis has announced that Roper Center materials will no longer be part of its collection and that access them will end on December 31, 2007.
Don't forget that we have direct access to the Roper Center directly via E-Resources. According to Meghan, Roper makes even more available than LexisNexis, since both summary and micro-level data are there.
Users (i.e., Harvard affiliates)will have to enter an email; I suppose that non-Harvard affiliates would require our mediation.

Web resource that may come in handy
The January 19, 2007 issue of the Scout Report has an updated review of Georgetown University's Political Database of the Americas.
This site is jammed packed with information I know I could have used several times last semester with a student who was exploring recent the Mexican election (and its aftermath). Under the "Links" section, by the way,there's a helpful list of major newspapers by country.
The full review is available here.

Polling Sites (from C&RL News)
CR&L News, as you may know, publishes a column called "Internet Resources," compilations of web sites on various issues.
The October '06 issue features public opinion polls websites and polling data from around the world.
The guide is available here.

New E-Resource on American Politics
In Amber Meryman's latest list of new e-resources, I found the National Journal Group's Policy Central especially worthwhile for questions on American politics and elected officials.
Two sections that look especially useful are the Almanac of American Politics and Poll Track. In the latter, you can either find polling data on various campaigns and issues by keyword (e.g., global warming) or click on the "Key Issues" link for a list of major topics on which public opinion polls have been taken. I think this might be more substantial (for what it covers) than "Polling the Nations."
