How do we know what we know about what the American public thinks? You’re invited to join UMass Professor of Political Science Tatishe Nteta for lunch in the South Room of the Dining Hall on Friday, October 6. Dr. Nteta is Director of the UMass Poll, which conducts national and regional surveys of public opinion about contentious issues and voter preferences in closely watched races. If you’d like to join him for a free-flowing discussion of the science of polling and the state of the American political landscape on the eve of a presidential election year, RSVP to Mr. Hamilton.
