Project:
Public Opinion in Rhode Island

This year, a YouGov survey examining Rhode Islanders’ opinion on elections was sent across the state. To prepare for such a data-heavy endeavor, preparatory research and question information are essential for effective results. In turn, connections with influential individuals in the Rhode Island political scene became a key component in this research.
