Public Policy Poll

In Spring 2011, the UMass Dartmouth Public Policy Poll surveyed 1,207 residents statewide. The Poll was administered by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s Department of Public Policy in collaboration with its Center for Policy Analysis and was conducted during February and March, 2011.  The margin of error for this Poll was plus or minus 2.8 percent. Support for this project was provided by the School of Education, Public Policy and Civic Engagement (SEPPCE).
