The Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) is an American nonprofit, nonpartisan research and education organization that conducts public opinion polls on a variety of different topics. PRRI is a public resource for journalists, scholars, policy makers and the general public. PRRI is a member of the National Council of Public Polls and is a founding member of the Transparency Initiative at the American Association of Public Opinion Research.
PRRI partners with media outlets, think tanks, and academic institutions. Partners include The Atlantic, The Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies Program, the American Academy of Religion (AAR), and Georgetown University’s Berkeley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs. All PRRI data is publicly available at the PRRI website and on The Roper Center Archives at Cornell University.
Major research
In 2013, PRRI launched the American Values Atlas, an interactive online tool that provides information about religious, political and demographic composition for all 50 states and particular issues.
