Public opinion shapes the conversations we have surrounding policy and politics. We at Civitas recognize the importance of keeping our ear to the rails, paying careful attention to which way public sentiment and policy preferences are trending. And we’re not the only ones that find this information important: Below are a number of the most recent articles citing our public opinion survey over the past two weeks. Although we don’t agree with the position of every writer that cites our poll, we are grateful to see journalists and elected officials consider the voice of the People when covering a story or crafting policy.
