Public Agenda is an opinion research and civic engagement organization that helps Americans explore and understand critical issues. Public Agenda provides unbiased research that bridges the gap between American leaders and what the public really thinks about issues ranging from education to foreign policy to immigration to religion and civility in American life.
Nonpartisan and nonprofit, Public Agenda was founded by social scientist and author Daniel Yankelovich and former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance in 1975. Public Agenda's two-fold mission is to help:œ American leaders better understand the public's point of view; œ citizens know more about critical policy issues so they can make thoughtful, informed decisions.
