A Quick Survey About Political Content

If you have a little time today, check this out…

I am a graduate student conducting research through the Department of Communication at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. This research is being conducted with Dr. Ken Day at the University.

This survey is intended to collect data for research to determine what sources people are using and have used to obtain political information about the current campaigns and political information in general.

We would be very grateful for a moment of your time to fill out this short, anonymous survey.

I did it. But I already have a problem with the methodology. How does Megan expect to come to valid conclusions without a random sample?

The biggest problem is that if you ask wonks at blogs, you won’t get a good measure of the sorts of sources being used by those who lack motivation to do research to construct their opinions.
