How are North Carolinians managing their health care costs? What do they think of Social Security reform? What percentages approve or disapprove of the job that Governor Mike Easley is doing?
You can find answers to these and other questions by working as an interviewer for the Elon University Poll. We will be conducting our final poll of the spring semester over six nights: Monday, April 18, through Thursday, April 21; plus Monday, April 25, and Tuesday, April 26. We will poll each night from 5 to 9 p.m. in the new, state-of-the-art Polling Center in the Gray Political Science Pavilion, Room 110.
No experience is necessary. We will train you. Pay is $6.50 per hour (an increase from the last academic year!), plus all the pizza you can eat during the dinner break. We also will award restaurant gift certificates for the last interview of the night and most interviews each night.
Sign-up sheets for each night are now posted outside the Polling Center, first floor, Gray Political Science Pavilion. Students can sign up for individual nights or multiple nights. We only ask that you commit to working a full four-hour shift on the night for which you’ve signed up. Also, students who sign up, then fail to honor their work commitment, must find a substitute.
If a sign-up sheet is full, please come any way. If we have empty seats we will gladly accept walk-ins.
Our polling data have been featured in The New York Times and The Washington Post, and on CNN and NBC’s Meet the Press. Come join your classmates in a fun enterprise that brings national recognition to Elon.
