PSC: Practicum Assignment

High Point University includes a somewhat hidden gem to non political science or research majors. That gem is the High Point University Research Center. 

When taking a closer study at their research Poll  93. The Variables that stood out the most to me were College, PartyIssueOwnerDC_1, PartyIssueOwnerDC_2, PartyIssueOwnerDC_8, and PartyIssueOwnerDC_15.

In this Research the Syntax used was:

Below are my questions asked by High Point University Survey Research Center. The charts below clearly represent respondents answers the questions. "Example {agree or disagree} or {disagree or agree}. The information is the gain of information through Descriptive Frequencies.

The Variables of Healthcare in general show that 7.9% more college Democrats are more likely to deal with Healthcare instead of Republicans but due to it being less than 10% it is not significant. Regards to inflation 11.8% believe that Republicans would do a better job at handeling it and because it is larger than 10% it shows much significance.

Abortion a large controversial issue in this country believes Democrats handle it better by 7.7% although more than Republicans it has little significance. Immigration through this study is seen better handled by Republicans by 12.4% showing significance. 

The Cosstabs for these variables are below:

In this chart above as seen there all are significant variables due to them all being above .05. The most significant in this crosstabs is there college thoughts on inflation. With that being a constant ongoing topic it is not surprising.

Healthcare cross tabs with college show most Democrats have the largest percentage with college and non- college are more equipped to deal with healthcare.


In regards to Immigration Republicans almost wholly have the most percentage except for (DK) where they are only 14.3%

Education in regards to Inflation the overall is Republicans scoring higher in every category besides (DK) where they tied with Democrats.

Educational relation to Abortion the Democratic Party has more support for college and non-college.

Through these findings it gives a 50/50 split with Democrats being favored in abortion and health care and  Republicans for inflation and immigration.
