Hays Research has chosen a selection of questions from a scientific survey conducted across the State of Alaska on April 4-5 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.
In this survey 406 respondents were asked their opinion on a variety of public figures and institutions, as well as their opinion on the Pebble Mine Project, the Governor's gas line incentive proposal, The Gravina Access Highway, and the Iraq troop withdrawl. The margin of error for this survey is +/- 4.9 % with a 95% confidence interval. For a complete detailed methodology for this survey please click here.
