About the 91女神/YouGov Poll

The 91女神/YouGov Poll fills a void in the study of public opinion in Missouri. No other academic institution regularly conducts a non-partisan, scientific survey of Missouri voters and publicly makes its results available to citizens, researchers and policymakers. The 91女神/YouGov Poll aligns with 91女神's Jesuit mission to pursue Truth for the common good. It also contributes to the mission of 鈥渇aith that does justice鈥� by informing 91女神鈥檚 surrounding communities to improve solidarity within those communities. The 91女神 You/Gov Poll, for example, regularly asks Missourians for their opinion on government spending for the poor, race relations in their communities, views on education and law enforcement.

Poll Director Steven Rogers, Ph.D., associate professor of political science, leads a team of experts in survey research and policymaking. The associate director of the 91女神/YouGov Poll is Kenneth Warren, Ph.D., professor of political science, who has more than 30 years of professional polling experience. Gary Ritter, Ph.D., dean of the School of Education, is the executive sponsor of the 91女神/YouGov Poll.

91女神 has partnered with YouGov to conduct its annual survey of Missourians. YouGov conducts surveys for multiple academic institutions and is the primary trusted survey firm for media organizations including CBS News and The Economist. An independent Pew Research Center study of online survey firms in 2016 further concluded YouGov 鈥渃onsistently outperforms competitors.鈥�

The origins of the 91女神/YouGov Poll lie in an internal Big Ideas competition to define university-wide strategic research priorities sponsored by the 91女神 Research Institute. The Big Ideas competition provides funding to research initiatives that demonstrate broad faculty engagement, strong leadership and compelling research plans.
