Gary Langer Biography

Gary Langer is an internationally recognized public opinion researcher with expertise in news polling, analysis of social, political, and economic attitudes, questionnaire design, data interpretation, survey methodology, and survey management.

Former director of polling at ABC News, Langer founded Langer Research Associates in 2010 after a decades-long career at ABC where he oversaw and analyzed more than 700 opinion polls, and a newsman at the Associated Press. Beyond political and election analysis, his work has encompassed topics including international affairs, views on terrorism and security, healthcare policy, economic anxiety, environmental attitudes, and a broad range of other social concerns.

Langer has won two Emmy awards and received eight Emmy nominations – the first and only to cite public opinion polls – as well as being honored with the 2010 Policy Impact Award of the American Association for Public Opinion Research for a series of surveys in Afghanistan and Iraq, described in AAPOR's citation as "a stellar example of high-impact public opinion polling at its finest." He's a two-time winner of the University of Iowa-Gallup Award for Excellent Journalism Using Polls, produced a pair of ABC News polls recognized by the Excellence in Media Coverage of Polls Award from the National Council on Public Polls, and shared a division-wide DuPont-Columbia Award for ABC's 9/11 coverage.

Langer has been at the forefront of the movement for standards and disclosure in survey research and improved news reporting of polls, creating ABC's industry-leading poll standards and vetting operation and advancing disclosure initiatives through professional organizations. A frequent speaker, writer, and commentator on public attitudes, he's the author of "The Numbers" blog at ABCNews.com, has authored or co-authored nearly 30 scholarly papers, and has given more than 60 invited presentations on the contours, measurement, and meaning of public opinion.
