The People Speak Poll
The People Speak Poll is a collaborative effort of the Center for Urban Initiatives and Research at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Public Policy Forum, and The Business Journal Serving Greater Milwaukee. These partners have come together to create a public opinion poll for metropolitan Milwaukee that will be administered three to four times a year. The purpose of this polling effort is to gather information from local citizens about their interests in, preferences for, and concerns about public policy. By gathering and reporting out these citizen perspectives, the partners hope to expand the public voice in policy matters affecting the greater Milwaukee area.
