First in a three-part Symposium Series Commemorating the Anniversary of the Minnesota Poll
Help us kick off a yearlong celebration of eight decades of data on Minnesotans' changing attitudes, beliefs and political opinions.
This event is focused on marking the 80-year history and impact of the Minnesota Poll. It will feature a roundtable discussion and presentations from journalists who have worked closely on leading what is one of the longest-running state-level public opinion surveys in the country.
We will investigate and highlight key insights uncovered by the Minnesota Poll over time, enriching our understanding of the increasingly diverse people of Minnesota and their changing views about government, policy and public life. We will also feature a demonstration of the new online search portal the journalism center has created in partnership with Cornell’s Roper Center for Public Opinion Research.
Speakers include Rob Daves, who served as director of the poll at the Star Tribune from 1987-2007; and the poll’s current organizers, Matt DeLong of the Minnesota Star Tribune and Craig Helmstetter of APM Research Lab.
Lunch will be served. Please RSVP if you are planning to attend.
