UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute will collaborate in a new partnership to conduct polling across Wisconsin on issues such as the economy and health care.
According to a statement, the institute will work with UW-Madison faculty to carry out polls every four months that will aid in in-depth research projects. The polls will also be distributed to media outlets.
The goal of the frequent polling is to provide policymakers and Wisconsin residents insight into what people think about political and social issues.
Professors in the UW-Madison Department of Political Science expressed excitement about the new partnership. Ken Goldstein, UW-Madison professor of political science, said he was excited to share the research with people ""outside the boundaries of the university.""
WPRI is a non-partisan, non-profit research institute that has conducted polls throughout Wisconsin for more than 20 years.
