Hi users.
We are Social Psychology Ph.D. students at the University of Kansas. We are interested in people’s opinions of the current political campaign and related issues. We are eagerly trying to find varying opinions beyond the college students on our campus. This is why we need your help!
We have no funding, so we’re asking various blog/forum groups for their help in completing our survey. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes of your time! We realize that everyone is busy, but please, please help
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us Kelly (kdanaher@ku.edu) or Amanda (aksesko@ku.edu).
If you would be willing to help us with our survey, please click on the link below.

When we are finished, we would love to share the findings and open them up for discussion. Thank you again for your time!!!

Kelly and Amanda

I took it.

Normally moderators would take an axe to a survey thread, but let me give you a little bit of advice my friend. A survey on the internet is meaningless. You would be better served looking at polling from reputable pollsters or just doing your own polling among real people in the real world with phone calls. An internet poll is automatically biased towards certain demographics, and with your methodology it's further biased by the particular leanings of whatever site you are polling.

Thanks for your input (and for allowing us to have our survey here)! We of course are concerned about who is taking our survey. As social psychologists we realize this is of great importance. However, we are attempting to get the point of view from many people, and the internet is one way in which researchers are now doing this and it has actually shown to be quite effective but yes at the same time limited to those people that use the sites we post on. However, if we acknowledge who are participants are then we can interpret the results in light of those constraints. In any research there are always constraints. For example, even calling people creates a limit--only those people with phones or those people that are willing actually participate.

Anyway, we are trying very hard to go beyond the opinions of just college students. Which has historically been where research is limited to. The internet is one way to do this! Thank you for your comments! All of these questions are important to discuss.

I also realize that some users get upset about surveys on blog sites, however, since we are discussing political issues here, research is one of the avenues in which we can start a discussion about politics and the current race.

Thank you to those who have participated so far!! And yes go Jayhawks

Oh now that's just wrong.

Took the survey, seemed very well put together, good luck!
