Elon University Poll

The latest survey by the Elon University Poll conducted March 30-April 1, 2019, asked residents to weigh on a range of potential risks, asking them to say how unsafe each made them feel.

The survey also found that if the election was held now, the Democratic presidential nominee has a better shot at winning North Carolina than President Donald Trump.

The Elon University Poll conducted a survey following a recent decision to hold a new election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, with one in five voters saying they are ‘not at all confident’ in the fairness of future elections. 

The poll, conducted in collaboration with the N.C. General Assembly Program Evaluation Division, also found that about half the state agrees with keeping ABC stores closed on Sunday. 

Jason Husser, associate professor of political science and director of the Elon University Poll, was invited by WFMY News, the local CBS affiliate, to offer commentary on the shutdown and its impact on the 2020 presidential election. 

Husser offered his insights in the controversy surrounding the 9th District Congressional race in North Carolina for the nightly national FOX News program. 

The poll results released Oct. 11 examined how N.C. voters prepared for Hurricane Florence and how their thoughts about climate change have shifted over time. 

Jason Husser, associate professor of political science and director of the Elon University Poll, joined other political scientists from around the state on the Oct. 26 episode of the weekly public affairs program on WUNC. 

Husser discussed the results of the most recent Elon Poll that asked about changes in opinions about climate change in the wake of several hurricanes and storms that devastated North Carolina.  

The Elon University Poll also explored how North Carolinians were impacted by Hurricane Florence, how they might confront the next hurricane that hits the state and how they believe leaders responded to the storm, among other topics.
