Public Opinion Polls
A good poll can show general public opinion on a particular topic or issue.
Newspapers: The best place for Newspapers will be the following: Factiva, Newspaper Source, and Nexis Uni. Keep in mind, that newspapers can be exclusive to specific databases. Wall Street Journal is only in Factiva, for example.
Political Science & Law Articles: These will be the best sources for scholarly articles on the topic. Nexis Uni will be your best place for law reviews.
