At that time, Americans were evenly divided over support for stricter gun control laws. Civiqs has been tracking attitudes towards gun control for over three years, starting in January 2015. Oftentimes, public opinion remaining stable is just as interesting as when it changes-especially when events that seem important at the time have no impact on public perceptions whatsoever. We optimized the Civiqs trendline results model to identify when changes occur-but to not overreact to short-lived, random deviations in the data. With results updated daily, the Results Dashboard can reveal shifts in public opinion both large and small, at the topline level and within small subgroups, as they happen. The Civiqs research methodology represents what we believe is a better way to track public opinion on the political issues that matter most: with daily polls that detect shifts in attitudes immediately and methods of data analysis that give us reliable, granular insight into the views of key demographic and partisan subgroups.Ĭiviqs polls on a wide range of topics, all across the United States, all the time. Often we find ourselves dependent on sporadic survey releases with inconclusive results, or polls put out by interested parties, and reporting that cherry-picks the largest outliers to tell misleading stories about what’s really happening. And there’s not a lot of reliable polling available to answer that question. So much of the political debate these days is about how events and actions will play out in public opinion. Civiqs applies and builds on that research. My academic research was largely focused on improving the measurement of public opinion, especially as it trended over time, and on forecasting attitudes into the future. Before founding Civiqs, I was a Professor of Political Science at Emory University and before that, a pollster with firms in Washington, DC, and California. I’m the Director and Chief Scientist at Civiqs, and I’m extremely excited to bring this data to the public. All of the results can be filtered and tabulated by age, race, gender, education, and party identification. The results dashboard is updated daily with current measures of President Trump’s job approval rating, the 2018 generic House ballot, favorable ratings of the Democratic and Republican parties, attitudes towards gun control, and much more. Civiqs has a separate team and is a distinct firm from Daily Kos but is owned by the same parent company.)įor the first time, Civiqs is making the results of its polls open to the public. (More background on Civiqs, and its relationship to Kos Media, is in this post from Markos Moulitsas. Since 2013, Civiqs has fielded over half a million scientific research surveys and collected more than seven million responses to survey questions. Today, Civiqs is announcing the release of its public opinion Results Dashboard: an interactive website with data, charts, and tables from Civiqs’ daily polling of political attitudes all across America.Ĭiviqs is a polling and data analytics firm that conducts public opinion research online.
