Stockton Polling Institute

The Stockton Polling Institute, part of the William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy, conducts independent public opinion polling on elections and issues of importance in southern New Jersey and across the state. Stockton Polling Institute tracks public opinion through the use of a student-based interview team of over 120, thus providing students with a first-hand opportunity to learn about public opinion and policymaking. It conducts about a dozen polls each year for the public, faculty, the college, and private clients.

More information can be found at the Stockton Polling Institute website.

The William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy at Stockton University serves as a catalyst for research on public policy and economic issues facing southern New Jersey. The Center provides a forum for public discussion of policy issues to engage citizens and policymakers, frame policy issues in a manner that encourages broader civic engagement and strengthen the voice of Southern New Jersey in public debate. The Center enjoys broad regional support embodied in an Advisory Board of prominent citizens throughout the region.

The Center also sponsors research projects designed to educate New Jersey residents and policymakers about our environmental resources, community development, and citizen engagement. These projects incorporate the expertise of faculty leaders at Stockton University in collaboration with members of the Hughes Center to inspire broader citizen engagement and more effective participation in public policy matters. The Hughes Center welcomes opportunities to collaborate with organizations and individuals who lead similar initiatives or wish to engage in a partnership.

The Center is named for Ambassador William J. Hughes of Ocean City, whose distinguished career includes service in the U.S. House of Representatives, Ambassador to Panama and teaching as a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Stockton University.
