 George Gallup Jr. helped run his father's public-opinion polling organization for half a century, and developed his own specialty in studying religion by the numbers. 
  
 Mr. Gallup, who died Monday at age 81, served for many years as corporate spokesman and with his brother Alec was co-chairman of the Gallup Poll. 
  
 "George had this unusual combination of training at his father's knee in polling, the scientific ascertainment of public opinions, and also a passion for religion," said Frank Newport, Gallup's editor in chief. 
  
 In ... ||||| George Gallup Jr., who led the firm that his father made all but synonymous with polling and expanded it to become a barometer of Americans’ views on religion as well as their political attitudes, died on Monday in Princeton, N.J. He was 81 and lived in Princeton. 
  
 He learned he had liver cancer a year ago, his daughter Alison said. 
  
 Mr. Gallup had once considered becoming an Episcopal priest, and after graduating from Princeton with a degree in religion in 1953, he went to Texas to work in a ministry on Galveston Island. But the pull of the family enterprise proved stronger, and he joined his older brother, Alec, at his father’s firm, serving as an executive from the mid-1950s until his retirement in 2004. 
  
 While Mr. Gallup lamented late in his life that politicians follow polls rather than their conscience, he echoed his father in arguing that polling was vital to democracy. “It’s removed power out of the hands of special interest groups,” he said in an interview on PBS a few years ago. “It’s given people who wouldn’t normally have a voice a voice.” 
  
 Surveying American views on schools, families and institutions, he used the results to paint a portrait of the nation. “The mood of America is one of disillusionment,” he declared in 1973 as Watergate dragged down the approval ratings of President Richard M. Nixon and Congress alike.

 Much of his work involved traditional political polls. But he also expanded the firm’s surveys into religion, becoming one of the first pollsters to ask questions about organized religion and religious teachings and practice. |||||

George Gallup Jr. has conducted his last poll. The renowned pollster, who helped run the polling organization his father founded for more than 50 years, has died of liver cancer at the age of 81, the New York Times reports. Gallup, who once considered becoming an Episcopalian priest and worked as a lay minister in Texas before joining the family business, never lost his passion for religion. He specialized in polling Americans on their religious beliefs and once said gathering information on public opinion was itself a kind of ministry. "This is a new frontier of research, the inner life," said Gallup, who founded the Princeton Religion Research Center and published several books on spirituality and religion. His research tracked the rise of evangelical Christianity in the '70s and the religious right in the '80s, the Wall Street Journal notes. His research, he said, suggested that while America is the world's most religious nation, many Americans tend to be ignorant about theology and religious texts. "America's religion is broad but not deep," he said in 2003. "It's not that Americans don't believe anything. They believe everything."
