About us

PRRI is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to conducting high-quality public opinion research. PRRI’s research explores and illuminates America’s changing cultural, religious, and political landscape. PRRI’s mission is to help journalists, scholars, pundits, thought leaders, clergy, and the general public better understand debates on public policy issues, and the important cultural and religious dynamics shaping American society and politics. As a nonpartisan, independent research organization, PRRI does not take positions on, nor do we advocate for, particular policies. Research supported by our funders reflects PRRI’s commitment to independent inquiry and academic rigor. Research findings and conclusions are never altered to accommodate other interests, including those of funders, other organizations, or government bodies and officials.

Less than a month from Election Day, the 15th annual PRRI American Values Survey, released today in partnership with The Brookings Institution finds deepening political divisions and concerning support for political violence and election denial. The survey finds that nearly one in four Republicans who hold a favorable view of Trump (23%), and 19% of all Republicans, say that if Donald Trump loses the election, he should declare the results invalid and do whatever it takes to assume office. Only 12% of Democrats say Kamala Harris should do the same. Additional findings include: - Republicans are twice as likely (27%) as independents (14%) or Democrats (12%) to agree that armed everyday citizens should be poll watchers, even if this makes some voters uncomfortable. - Most Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump (62%) and those convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6 insurrection are being held hostage by the government (46%). - In a two-way race, white evangelical Protestants remain the strongest backers of Trump (81%), followed by white Catholics (61%) and white mainline/non-evangelical Protestants (60%). By contrast, more than eight in ten Black Protestants back Harris (83%), as do 70% of religiously unaffiliated Americans and 61% of Hispanic Catholics. - The vast majority of Americans (85%) oppose laws that make it illegal for people to seek out in vitro fertilization, or IVF, to have a child, including strong majorities of Americans across faith traditions who oppose such laws. - Nearly three-fourths of Americans (73%) favor requiring Supreme Court justices to retire at a certain age or after a certain number of years instead of serving for life.
