This part contains the last 8 monthly omnibus surveys, whereas the first 20 weekly surveys are found in DDA-0254: Danish Gallup Omnibus Data 1962, Part 1. # #Each survey contains a number of demographic variables common to all the surveys of that year, as well as a number of questions dealing with topical events.
