New Poll Suggest Leaders Need to Listen More Closely to Americans Media ContactsResearch!America and our partners encourage media to use Your Congress–Your Health to inform your coverage of the 112th Congress. We know this is just one of many sources available to you, but our site is the first such national resource to focus on medical, health and scientific research and other ways Congress can affect Americans' health. Nineteen years of Research!America public opinion polling have shown how important medical, health and scientific research are to Americans, including your readers, viewers or listeners. Public opinion polls consistently show that few Americans are very well informed about their elected officials’ positions on health and research. Many members of Congress are already on the record with one of our past initiatives, but if a Senator or Representative has not responded recently or at all, you may be interested in asking why. We think you'll find this information useful not only now but also in the future to compare elected officials' actions with their positions posted here. Let us know if we can be of assistance in setting up interviews or answering questions about the project or our poll findings capturing Americans' views on these issues. |
