About the Latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll   

The Rutgers-Eagleton Poll's most recent study, released October 14, 2008, is a pathbreaking examination of views of Asian Americans in New Jersey and New York. The results are part of the National Asian American Survey which is the most comprehensive survey of political views of Asian Americans to date.

A press release highlighting findings from the study, is available here; the full report on New Jersey and New York is available here.

Dr. Jane Junn, associate professor of political science at Rutgers and faculty director of the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll, collaborated with scholars at the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California-Riverside, and the University of Southern California to conduct the research.

Dr. Ruth B. Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics, noted the significance of this survey not only for analyzing the 2008 election but for future analysis and research of the political and civic attitudes of a relatively new and increasingly important group of voters. She added that this is the type of complex and sophisticated topic the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll will seek to address in the future. The fact that approximately 30 separate polls are releasing results on the Presidential election each day is an indicator that there is less need for the traditional, electoral horserace surveys Eagleton has conducted since 1971.

The Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling (ECPIP), also known as the Eagleton Poll, was established in 1971 with the primary mission of serving the state of New Jersey. One of the oldest and most respected academically-based state survey research organizations in the country, ECPIP continues to focus its efforts on questions and issues that matter most to policymakers, scholars, and the public. The Center provides survey research services to national and state governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, and academic clients.

One of ECPIP’s most visible activities is its statewide public opinion poll, which has served as the “poll of record” for New Jersey since 1971. The Rutgers-Eagleton Poll’s time series of data, reporting attitudes about candidates, politics, public policy, the economy, and social trends in more than 160 surveys, is archived and publicly accessible here.
