survey data
Collected questionnaire responses
Survey data is information collected by asking questions of a group of people—through questionnaires, interviews, or polls.
The term emphasizes that the information comes from respondents rather than from observation, experiments, or existing records: The survey data showed widespread support for the policy.
Survey data forms the basis of market research, political polling, and social science studies.
