Stony Brook University Political Survey

Hi Everyone,

A graduate student at Stony Brook University in New York needs some help. Here is the info, Survey takes about 10 minutes. Link to google doc with last years results at the bottom of this post.

Thanks! -PG

Hello,

I need your help.

I am a graduate student in Political Science at Stony Brook University.

I am working on a project researching online political discourse during
political campaigns. I have created a survey designed to examine who
visits political blogs and how blog readers think about the 2008
election and respond to online political discussions. Any results I
find will likely be presented at national and international political
science conferences and hopefully published in national political
science
journals. In addition, I plan to use this data as part of my
dissertation.

The link to the survey is:

All survey responses will be completely confidential, and all
identifying information will be stripped by the survey collection
software.

Previous versions of this survey have been posted on a few blogs, and
both liberal and conservative readers seemed to really enjoy taking it.
It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

I would appreciate it very much if you could post the link to this
survey on your blog and encourage your readers to participate. I am very
happy to send you the results of the data I collect. I attach to this
email some of the *initial* results of a previous version of this
survey. Please do not share these results with your readers until a few
days after they have taken the survey. If they see the prior results
before taking the survey, it could bias my current results.

Also, any suggestions you may have for me would be very welcome.
Bloggers are far ahead of political scientists in thinking about the
importance of blogs in American politics.

Again, the link to the survey is:
http://ms.cc.sunysb.edu/~lhuddy/pidsurvey_4.htm

If you choose to post it, please let me know, and please discourage your
readers from discussing it (disabling the comments section would be
ideal, but if you can’t do that, it’s fine). Like I said above, it
could bias my results if people go into it with specific expectations.

Many thanks,
