George Gallup, Jr.

George Horace Gallup Jr. (April 9, 1930 – November 21, 2011) was an American pollster, writer and executive at The Gallup Organization, which had been founded by his father, George Gallup. Gallup expanded the scope of the Gallup Poll to encompass a wider variety of topics, ranging from the outlook of American youth to religious beliefs. He received a bachelor's degree in religion from Princeton University in 1953, and worked there until his retirement in 2004.

Gallup was married to Kingsley Hubby, with whom he had three children. He was an Episcopalian, who once considered the ministry but instead served as an active layman.

He was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2010, and died in Princeton, New Jersey, on November 21, 2011, at the age of 81.
