Abstract:
The Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University conducts the annual Hoosier Survey to provide Indiana policymakers with a measure of public opinion on current issues facing our state and nation. The nonpartisan survey does not ask respondents about particular candidates or campaigns. The results are delivered to every member of the Indiana General Assembly at the beginning of the calendar year so that lawmakers can gauge public views about issues they are likely to face in the coming session.
Description:
The 2009 Hoosier Survey sponsored by Ball State University obtained telephone interviews with a representative sample of 604 adults living in Indiana state telephone households. The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research International. The interviews were conducted in English by Princeton Data Source, LLC from November 9 to December 6, 2009. Statistical results are weighted to correct known demographic discrepancies. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is ±4.5%.
