If you choose to use Advanced/Additional search features, you can browse through iPoll's lists of Topics, Geographic Areas, and Polling Organizations to specify the kind of information you need. You can also limit by data if you need polling data from a particular time.

The search results page gives two options. You can view individual questions that match your search and get data on that individual question. Each one will include the poll it comes from and the organization conducting the poll.

You can also select the Studies/Datasets on the results page view whole studies immediately. Each result will also include the name of the poll and the organization in charge.
