MEREDITH POLL

Housed in the Department of History, Political Science, and International Studies, the Meredith Poll asks North Carolinians their opinions on a variety of public issues.

In addition to asking citizens about current political and social issues, the Meredith Poll is the only North Carolina survey research organization that focuses on issues pertaining to women. The Meredith Poll was launched in the spring of 2015 as part of Meredith’s commitment to civic engagement.
