Hays Research has chosen a selection of questions from a scientific survey conducted in the Municipality of Anchorage on March 14-15 2007 to release to the public. Every month Hays Research Group conducts an omnibus survey called 'Opinion Counts' where our customers may purchase individual questions in the survey at a minimal cost. Statewide surveys are conducted monthly as well as surveys within the Municipality of Anchorage in the months leading up to the April 3rd election.

In this survey 300 respondents were asked their opinion on a variety of public figures and institutions, as well as their opinion on the Knik Arm Crossing (bridge) project. Please scroll down to view the results of this survey.

If you would like to have a question included in the next 'Opinion Counts' survey, or to get more information on our Hays Research Group's public opinion research services, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Two different programs will be offered in 2007: an Anchorage Municipal program conducted in the months leading up to the Anchorage Municipal election on April 3^rd, and a Statewide program which will be conducted monthly year-round. This is a unique opportunity to include your own questions in each of the polls for a minimal cost by utilizing Hays Research Group's new Opinion Counts program. Space is limited, so reserve your questions soon!
