> I regret to announce that LexisNexis Academic will lose the Roper Polls
> content this month.  The publisher has decided to opt out of the
> agreement that made it possible for us to bring this content to academic
> researchers.  LexisNexis understands how important these polls are to
> researchers.  Our licensing team made a very determined effort to retain
> academic rights, and they will continue discussions with the publisher
> in hopes of reinstating this content in the future.  The publisher has
> made it clear that no reinstatement will happen in 2008, and has
> directed us to remove the Roper Polls materials from LexisNexis Academic
> prior to the end of 2007.

> Some of you may have noticed that the Roper Polls materials were not

> on our part when the licensing change was first processed. The materials
> have been reinstated for the time being, and will remain available until
> approximately December 21.
