A survey of 468 Anne Arundel County residents conducted September 23 to October 1, 2022 by Anne Arundel Community College and the Center for the Study of Local Issues identified the economy, crime/drugs and education as key issues as election season arrives. The survey polled a random sample of 468 county residents who were at least 18 years old. Interviewing was conducted online primarily using a database of members of the AACC/CSLI web panel who have been recruited when conducting previous telephone interviews. There was about a 4.5% statistical margin of error; the error rate was higher for subgroups such as “Democrats” or “men.” The dataset was weighted by gender, political party, age, race, council district and education to better represent the general population. Students participated in the selection of topics and the analysis of results. Professor Dan Nataf, Ph.D. is the director of the Center. The Center for the Study of Local Issues (CSLI) was established in 1978 as an applied research unit at Anne Arundel Community College. It is now a part of the Sarbanes Center for Public and Community Service.
