As director of the Elon Poll, Husser and his staff conduct regional and statewide surveys on a wide range of topics important to the people of North Carolina and other southern states. Information from these polls is shared with media, citizens and public officials to facilitate informed public policy making through the better understanding of citizens’ opinions and attitudes. By conducting several public opinion surveys annually, the Elon Poll is easily recognized as the “poll of record in North Carolina.”
