The Marist Institute for Public Opinion (MIPO) is a survey research center at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Founded in 1978, MIPO is home to the Marist Poll and regularly measures public opinion at the local, state, and national level. The Marist Poll is highly respected and is often cited by journalists and analysts around the globe.
Marist isn’t your grandfather’s polling institute. Surveys run the gamut. Topics include politics, money, family, spirituality, mind and body, sports, entertainment, and much more!
The Marist Poll is unique. It was the first college-based survey center in the nation to involve undergraduates in conducting survey research. It’s been over 30 years and still counting. Students participate in each and every survey conducted. Their experiences allow them to weave political science, computing, communications, marketing, and psychology into an interdisciplinary learning experience. Student employment, internships, conferences, and seminars with leading journalists, pollsters and government officials can all be found at MIPO!

Concerning your “most annoying” poll – I can’t imagine why “on the ground” didn’t take the grand prize…? All forms of media, media spokespersons, politicians and political hacks have adopted this phrase for interviews, in order to appear informed, current, and intelligent. It was originated by military PR to represent the actual number of troops “on the ground” in a combat zone, it is now used to refer to anyone, in any position, anywhere, for any purpose. Whatever……
[...] July 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment No doubt most of the 26% who figure the 4th of July is nothing more than a summer season halftime show complete with fireworks and picnics voted for Obama. Twenty-six percent of those surveyed did not know that the United States achieved its independence from Great Britain, according to the poll, conducted by the nonprofit Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

In reading the papers concerning the Marist Poll results for Anthony Weiner, I was wondering how many people were actually polled. My community, Rockaway Park, is part of the Congressman`s district and I do not know of any of my neighbors or my family that were contacted for the poll. If the poll was limited to the small demographics of Kew Gardens, the results are definitely skewed.
@Michael… We interviewed 512 randomly selected adult residents within Congressman’s Weiner’s entire district. Using an RDD (random digit dial) methodoly, phone numbers from telephone exchanges in New York’s 9th Congressional District were generated by a computer. So, it’s only by chance that you were not called…you and all of your fellow district constituents were in the pool of people to possibly be contacted.

[...] A 2010 poll asked the most basic of questions about the nation’s history — “From which country did the United States win its independence?” — is either good news or bad news, depending on your expectations: 26% were not able to cite Great Britain, and 6% named a different country (France, China, Japan, Mexico or Spain, for example).Oh–and there were huge regional variations in the levels of ignorance: 32% of Southerners got it wrong, 26% of Midwesterners, 25% of Westerners and 16% of Northeasterners…happily I hail from that well-known bastion of lefty-thinking, Massachusetts!

As a political science major and graduate from FSU, I find your poll regarding 60% of Americans want stricter gun control, including bans on so called assault weapons very, very, hard to believe. Just days and weeks before polls where waning to around 47% and never was any poll showing 60% of Americans wished to ban so called assault weapons? Absolutely amazing? How did you poll, who did you poll (i.e liberal democrats, or republicans) what states did you poll, what gender did you poll? I leave you with the following quotes to ponder….:
