The PM Glynn Survey asks about people’s sense of hope in the future, their levels of trust in institutions and people around them, and their sense of belonging to the community and a broader life in common. It examines how these underlying attitudes influence attitudes to a range of important questions for public policy and democratic life in Australia.
In addition to providing a picture of how people understand the problems and opportunities we face, the survey also provides data directly relevant to the institute’s work streams, which are focussed on democracy and religion, human rights, and the sources of hope and confidence.
The inaugural survey was conducted in November – December 2018. 3,000 randomly selected people took part in the survey that was undertaken by an independent social and market research firm commissioned by the institute.
