About the Center for Public Opinion Research
The UTSA Center for Public Opinion Research (CPOR) is a full-scale academic public opinion research center that produces and facilitates basic and applied opinion research contributing to our understanding of important political and governance issues.
Mission Statement
CPOR, which is located in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts (COLFA), was launched in the fall of 2023 with Dr. Bryan Gervais serving as the inaugural director. The mission of CPOR is to foster groundbreaking research that provides insights and broaden the understanding of the opinions of residents in San Antonio, Texas, and our region.
Vision Statement
CPOR has three primary objectives:
(1) conduct high-quality public opinion polling of the San Antonio/Bexar County population that will serve as barometer of local public opinion and promote the university
(2) facilitate research objectives of external and internal clients through sample vending; and
(3) provide experiential learning opportunities for UTSA students that equip them with transferable skills. A secondary objective, dovetailing with the Center’s experiential learning objectives, will be to improve public opinion research through experimentation with polling methodology.
