GW Sponsors 2004 “Battleground Poll”
Gelman Library Will House Bipartisan Election Survey
Archives
The George Washington University announced that it will sponsor
the “2004 Battleground Poll,” a highly regarded, bipartisan
election survey conducted by top polling firms Lake Snell Perry and Associates
and The Tarrance Group. The survey will now be known as “The George
Washington University Battleground Poll.” In addition, GW’s
Gelman Library will become the official archive for all Battleground Polls
conducted to date, as well as GW-Battleground Polls in the future.
“It’s an honor to be associated with the well-respected Battleground
Poll,” said GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg. “And it
represents another example of GW’s active participation in the democratic
process. From candidate appearances on campus to CNN “Crossfire,”
and now our association with the Battleground Poll, GW is providing students
and faculty alike with unique hands-on experiences this presidential election
year.”
“We are very pleased to be working with George Washington University
on Battleground 2004,” said Battleground pollsters Celinda Lake and
Ed Goeas. “This is a tremendous partnership with an institution that
is known for linking both the practitioners and scholars of political
campaigns.”
GW’s role in the Battleground Polls will be guided by Graduate School
of Political Management Dean Christopher Arterton, who views this new
relationship as useful both today and in the future. “By becoming
the archive of the Battleground Polls since 1991, GW gains a valuable
resource for use by our own students and professors, and for political
scientists everywhere,” said Arterton.
