WASHINGTON, May 9 /Standard Newswire/ -- More than 900 public opinion and survey research professionals are expected at the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR)'s annual conference May 17-20, where the focus will be on the relationship between polls and policy.

 

"Regardless of the issue, how polls and surveys are designed, executed, and interpreted can have a significant impact on critical policy decisions," said Conference Chair Patricia Moy of the University of Washington. "With Americans divided on so many political and social issues, it is imperative that we better understand public opinion on these issues, how we're getting this information, and how we're using it." The meeting is being held at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Anaheim.

 

Meeting highlights include:

 

  • Plenary session featuring top Democrat and Republican strategists Mark Mellman and Dave Sackett, and longtime political reporter and columnist Ron Brownstein of The Los Angeles Times.

 

  • A two-day track of sessions on cell phones and survey research.

 

  • Short courses on multimode data collection, cell phones and survey research, propensity scores and introductions to survey sampling and writing survey questions.

 

A full list of conference sessions is available at www.aapor.org/documents/AAPORPreliminaryProgram_07_000.pdf
