How the survey was conducted • The survey was conducted by The Marist Poll sponsored and funded in partnership with The Knights of Columbus. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the continental United States were interviewed by telephone using live interviewers. The questions were available in English or Spanish. • 1,237 adults were interviewed from January 7th through the 12th, 2020. • Mobile telephone numbers were randomly selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the nation from Dynata (formerly Survey Sampling International). The exchanges were selected to ensure each region was represented in proportion to its population. Mobile phones are treated as individual devices. After validation of age, personal ownership, and non-business-use of the mobile phone, interviews are typically conducted with the person answering the phone. To increase coverage, respondents were also reached through random dialing of landline phone numbers.

This includes 4% who believe there is a lot of credence to that claim and 27% who say there is probably some legitimacy to it. 17% report there is not very much truth in it, and a majority -- 53% -- says the argument that race plays into the decision not to pay college athletes is false. Similar proportions of college sports fans share these views. This HBO Real Sports/Marist Poll has been conducted in conjunction with the Marist College Center for Sports Communication. “When the majority of revenue generating college athletes are unpaid African-American players and the majority of coaches are often white and well compensated, it almost compels the public to raise the question of race,” says Dr.

Another 24% of Americans and 31% of hunters say they disapprove of the practice but do not think it should be deemed illegal. 11% of adults nationally think the practice is acceptable. Not surprisingly, those who are hunters or have an interest in hunting, 28%, are more likely than Americans, overall, to say there is nothing wrong with big game hunting. Americans are more opposed to big game hunting when compared with hunting animals for sport. A majority of Americans believes hunting, in general, is wrong.

  • Exclusive Third Rail with OZY-Marist Poll, Commissioned by WGBH Boston and OZY Media for the New PBS Prime-Time, Cross-Platform Debate Program Third Rail with OZY
    Is America Still the Leader of the Free World? For Immediate release: Friday, September 22, 2017 Many Americans think the United States is still the leader of the free world, but most do not perceive the global prominence of the United States to be growing, according to an Exclusive Third Rail with OZY-Marist Poll, commissioned by WGBH Boston and OZY Media for the new PBS prime-time, cross-platform debate program Third Rail with OZY. Americans also exhibit lackluster confidence in the United States’ ability to continue to be a leader in world affairs, marking a notable shift in public opinion over the last four decades. The national survey was conducted by The Marist Poll in advance of this week’s Third Rail with OZY episode, which asks “Should America Be the World’s Cop?,” airing Friday, September 22, 2017 at 8:30pm ET (check local listings) and streaming on pbs.org/thirdrail. Third Rail with OZY, hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Carlos Watson, is a seven-part cross-platform series. Each week, expert and celebrity guests engage with Watson to debate a timely, provocative topic, incorporating audience and social media input and exclusive national polls. Although more than two-thirds of Americans (67%) consider the United States to still be the leader of the free world, only 20% of residents nationally—down from 31% in a 1978 ABC News/Harris Survey—think the United States plays a more important role as a world leader. Nearly four in 10 adults (37%) believe the United States’ role on the world stage is less important than it was a decade ago; 39% assert the nation functions in just as important a role as it has.

  • The Park51 Project: How Media Created the Ground Zero Mosque
    THE PARK51 PROJECT: HOW MEDIA CREATED THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE by EMILY SAEGER JARVIS (Under the Direction of Elli Lester Roushanzamir) ABSTRACT This study tests Herman and Chomsky‘s propaganda model by examining newspaper and television coverage of the Park51 controversy through textual and content analyses. Although this case study did not produce sufficient evidence that sourcing and anti-otherness were used consistently as propagandizing tools, the sheer amount of coverage is propagandistic in itself. The government has a vested interest in maintaining an invisible enemy. Park51, a seemingly innocuous community center, transformed into ―the ground zero mosque‖ in a media firestorm that questioned the motives of the imam, invoked the victims of September 11 and created a clear dichotomy of us versus them by insinuating a false equivalence of terrorist with Muslim. Even those outlets that emphasized support for Park51 perpetuated the story, the crux of which is dichotomy, imbedding it in the public consciousness. Using this propagandistic message, hegemony is maintained by the manufacture of consent. INDEX WORDS: propaganda, propaganda model, hegemony, political economy, anti- otherness, media ownership THE PARK51 PROJECT: HOW MEDIA CREATED THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE by EMILY SAEGER JARVIS A.B.J., The University of Georgia, 2009 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2011 © 2011 Emily Saeger Jarvis All Rights Reserved THE PARK51 PROJECT: HOW MEDIA CREATED THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE by EMILY SAEGER JARVIS Major Professor: Elli Lester Roushanzamir Committee: Janice Hume Barry Hollander Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2011 iv DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my father, Richard Saeger, who encourages me every day to write for the love of writing, and who taught me to view the world with a critical eye.

Most fans oppose their favorite NFL team drafting a player with a history of physical violence against women. Three in four football enthusiasts are also against drafting a prospect with a history of using performance-enhancing drugs. But, many fans nationally say it makes no difference to them if their favorite NFL team drafts a player with a history of using marijuana. Nearly nine in ten football fans, 87%, say they oppose their favorite NFL team drafting a top college prospect with a history of physical violence against women. Three percent favor recruiting such a player, and 9% say it makes no difference to them. Regardless of demographics, more than eight in ten football fans are against signing a player with a history of physical violence against women. Football fans nationally, 75%, are also wary about drafting a college football player who has been known to use performance-enhancing drugs.
