National Conference Calls
Pre-K Polling
In June 2008, Pre-K Now hosted In Focus: Pre-K Polling - Building a National Case for Pre-K to share results from Pre-K Now's national voter survey and tips for using public-opinion research to inform and advance all aspects of an advocacy campaign. Our bipartisan polling team, Jay Campbell of Hart Research Associates and Gary Ferguson of American Viewpoint, reviewed the major findings of our May 2008 survey. Pre-K Now's deputy state program director, Danielle Gonzales, followed up with advice on planning for and getting the most out of polling and surveys. Kathy Patterson, federal policy director at Pre-K Now, moderated the call.
