Inviting Controversy: Political Surveys in a Polarized Nation
Tim Lindberg
Asking about political viewpoints in the current polarized environment of the United States is challenging. Yet, it is arguably even more important to do so because shifts in political power can have greater impacts if the parties are further apart on political and policy values. My research using surveys has primarily focused on the urban-rural distinction in politics and I have completed a major mail survey and multiple online surveys using Qualtrics participants in the past five years. In this discussion, I focus on the importance of asking about politics in surveys in ways that give respondents a voice in the process while minimizing the potential for undesirable priming effects. I also discuss the difficulty in finding external funding to do political survey research in the current political climate. If interested, the data collected from the 2018 Rural Matters Survey is available via a report on the Rural Matters website.
