INCLUDE YOUR QUESTION

We are pleased to announce the launching of the third annual Cornell University Empire State Poll (ESP), conducted by the ILR Survey Research Institute (SRI).  It is the only annual statewide survey of its kind within New York State.  Modeled on successful state polls such as the Ohio Buckeye Poll, the Minnesota State Survey, Virginia Quality of life survey and the Wisconsin Badger Poll, the Empire State Poll is specifically designed to provide a wide-range of data on New York state residents, both upstate and downstate with available comparisons.

The 2005 ESP will be split into two separate surveys in order to accommodate the overwhelming interest in participating in the poll.  The first survey will focus on non-employment/non-labor issues such as community satisfaction and participation, economic perceptions, state and local governmental issues, trust in NYS institutions, and related economic, social, and political issues.  The second ESP survey will focus on employment and labor related topics and issues within New York State such as workforce development, job satisfaction, technology use, education and job training, and labor issues. 

Both surveys will be a general random sample of NYS households, targeting 800 NYS residents, 400 upstate and 400 downstate each.  As in previous iterations of the poll, Cornell researchers may include their own questions on the poll or commission specific over-samples at a very minimal cost.  To include your question, the charge is only $500, and all demographic variables that are collected are provided.

The next annual ESP (both workplace and non-workplace) will begin in February, 2005 with the deadline to participate December 22, 2004.  To participate or access previous years data or for more information, please contact Yasamin Miller, Director of SRI (yd17@cornell.edu), or Erik Nisbet (ecn1@cornell.edu), Project Manager for the Empire State Poll.
