What We Provide
Illinois Public Opinion, Inc. (IPO) employs automated telephone survey technology rather than relying on a live interview. This method substantially reduces polling costs for clients and enables polls to be completed in a single evening.
Moreover, the automated survey technology increases the accuracy of polling by neutralizing the bias that a live interviewer brings into the survey equation. How? By leveraging a standardized voice, each person polled can listen to same questions with no change in tone, pronunciation, or verbal tics. It’s a standardized delivery of the questions.
For our voter data base, IPO relies on from lists created by Aristotle International, Inc., a national company that, since 1983, has provided voter data to every U.S. president—from Ronald Reagan through Barack Obama—endless U.S. Senate, U.S House campaigns, PACs, etc.
