JANUARY 30, 2024 — What issues do people in greater San Antonio care about? That’s what UTSA’s new Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) aims to discover.

Researchers established the new polling center to learn about the perspectives, opinions and priorities of people living in the San Antonio region.

“This is a full-scale academic public opinion research center that can produce localized polls that represent the major concerns and issues faced by San Antonio and Bexar County residents,” said Bryan Gervais, CPOR director and associate professor of the UTSA Department of Political Science and Geography. “We looked at a lot of survey research centers and polling institutes across the county that were housed in academic settings as models, and we identified two elements that were going to be particularly useful to us: service to the university and service to the community.”
