**Cite**

#### Package

Run in R for the authors' preferred citation:

`citation("germanpolls")`

APA: Brunner, K. (n.d.). germanpolls: German Polling Data (Version 0.3) [Computer software]. Retrieved October 30, 2026, from https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=germanpolls

BibTeX:

```
@Manual{germanpolls,
  title  = {germanpolls: German Polling Data},
  author = {Brunner, Katharina},
  note   = {R package version 0.3},
  url    = {https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=germanpolls}
}
```

This package has no citation file, so `citation()` returns this entry built from `DESCRIPTION`.

#### R Observatory

For a number measured here: a download total, a coverage figure, an archival date.

APA: Balamuta, J. J. (2026). R Observatory: Metrics for germanpolls version 0.3 [Data set]. HJJB, LLC. Data release v2026-10-30. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21843040

BibTeX:

```

From data release v2026-10-30, which the citation names so these numbers can be found later.

## Health

[Method](/about/checks-health.md)

CRAN checks only the packages on CRAN, and it archived this one on 6 Jan 2021.

## Downloads

[Method](/about/downloads.md)

- Downloads in the latest day: 0 (It comes from autoCRAN alone.)

| Channel | Downloads in the latest day | In the total | Rank in that channel | Change |
| --- | ---: | --- | --- | --- |
| autoCRAN | 0 | yes |  |  |

Other windows: [Last 7 days](/cran/germanpolls.md?win=7d#downloads), [Last 30 days](/cran/germanpolls.md?win=30d#downloads), [All time](/cran/germanpolls.md?win=all#downloads).

#### Over time

Downloads over time, the last 12 whole months:

| Month | CRAN | autoCRAN | Sum |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Apr 2020 | 479 | no figure | 479 |
| May 2020 | 858 | no figure | 858 |
| Jun 2020 | 533 | no figure | 533 |

| Jul 2026 | no figure | 8 | 8 |
| Aug 2026 | no figure | 14 | 14 |
| Sep 2026 | no figure | 4 | 4 |

First day on record: CRAN 8 Jan 2019, autoCRAN 1 Jul 2026.

Every channel here counts downloads, so the channels can be stacked and summed for one period. Each channel counts in its own way and covers a different span of years, so read a sum as a rough total, and read a rise where a channel begins as that channel starting, not as growth.

Weeks start on Monday. A first or last week or month that the channel does not cover in full is left out, so every point is a whole period.

Days with no record add nothing to their week or month. For a little-used package that is usually a day with no downloads, but it can also be a gap in collection.

Graph: the whole call graph has 3 function names that take part in a call and 2 calls between them, set out in 2 layers with callers before what they call. Called by the most functions: `get_data_from_xml_de` (1), `get_data_from_xml_laender` (1), `germanpolls` (0). Calling the most functions: `germanpolls` (2), `get_data_from_xml_de` (0), `get_data_from_xml_laender` (0).
