| Title: | Election Polling & Public Opin |
|---|---|
| Course Section Number: | PSC-211-01 |
| Department: | Political Science |
| Description: | For months - if not years - before elections, commercial pollsters, campaign strategists, and academic survey researchers constantly query population samples in order to get a handle on what the American public thinks about issues, candidates, and campaign developments. This course takes a peek behind the curtain to examine how public opinion polls are conducted, the challenges pollsters face in their efforts to accurately measure the attitudes and beliefs of large populations, best practices for media reporting on poll results, and the relationship between public opinion polling and democracy. Students will follow 2024 election polling in real time, conduct an exit poll, and promote polling literacy within the campus and local communities. |
