Abstract
The author, social psychologist at Princeton University, is Director of the Princeton Public Opinion Research Project. Since the outbreak of war, the Project, under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, has been charting the course of American opinion through the polling mechanism of the American Institute of Public Opinion. In this article, Dr. Cantril presents a cross-section picture of American opinion in connection with the war as of the end of July, traces opinion trends since the spring of 1939, describes the patterns of opinion which have been discovered and the characteristics of people holding these opinions, and offers some interpretations of public opinion as recorded to date.
