What is the Roper Center? The Roper Center does not conduct surveys—it is an archive, preserving the data from polls conducted by many leading survey research organizations for the use of researchers, students, and journalists.

The Roper Center is sometimes confused with GfK Roper Public Affairs, a major commercial polling firm, and with the Center for Survey Research and Analysis previously at the University of Connecticut.  These organizations have historical connections to the Roper Center through Elmo Roper, who founded the Center, and Everett Ladd, who brought the Center to UConn and directed it for many years, but they are completely independent of the Roper Center.
