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."
