Where do Americans stand on each issue?

I tried looking up the Public Policy Polling and Gallup polling for issues, but does anyone know where to find an accurate, accessible, and most recent polling for all issues: domestic, foreign, and social?

I would love to create an infographic with as many announced candidates along a spectrum that is delineated by national opinion. Bonus if said polls also include the question that they asked participants.

(also, if one is going to post a poll result, can you cite and link to your source, please?)

Why? Because our owners don't want you to compare where you stand, against their chosen presidential candidates. That is also why, at least at the present, Bernie is being mostly ignored. He does not represent our owners.

Polling is expensive and is not done on all issues. More importantly is how the question is asked. For example on abortion rights you can find polls supporting that and restricting that depending on how the question is asked.
