A Public Service to North Carolina

Using a computer-assisted telephone interviewing lab, Elon University conducts frequent regional and statewide public opinion surveys on issues of importance to North Carolinians and other southern states. By conducting several surveys each year, the Elon University Poll is easily recognized as the “poll of record in North Carolina.”

Assistant Director Mileah Kromer is currently coordinating all Elon University Poll operations. Hunter Bacot, who for six years served as director of the Elon University Poll, left Elon University in July 2011 for the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, where he now serves as director of the Institute of Government.
