Description
Established in 2009, Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to conducting independent research and driving conversations at the intersection of religion, culture, and politics. Its flagship American Values Survey (AVS) is an annual multi-issue survey on religion, culture and public policy. The survey uniquely analyzes the ways in which religious values can support or undermine American democracy and pluralistic ideals. PRRI also conducts the American Values Atlas (AVA), an interactive mapping system which allows users to explore the complex demographic, religious, and cultural changes occurring across the fifty states, drawing upon data from 50,000 annual telephone interviews. With renewed Corporation support, PRRI will continue to help journalists, policymakers, scholars, congregations, stakeholder groups, and the public better understand the role of religion and values in American public opinion and the important dynamics shaping American politics and immigration.

Engaging more than 50,000 Americans per year, PRRI uniquely analyzes the ways in which people’s religious values can support or undermine American democracy and pluralistic ideals. With renewed Corporation support, PRRI will conduct extensive public opinion polling and research on how religious and moral commitments drive Americans’ attitudes on issues such as religious, racial, and ethnic pluralism; immigration reform; and the discourse around racial justice and white supremacy.

Duration

Description
As the United States heads into a highly politicized 2020 presidential election cycle, the government’s escalating efforts to ramp up immigration enforcement and limit legal immigration will likely be forefront issues. Numerous polls have identified a broad base of support for pragmatic and compassionate immigration policy solutions, but immigration is a nuanced and deeply partisan policy arena. Established in 2009, Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) is a nonpartisan research organization that maps the opinions of Americans on a range of issues, including immigration, in all fifty states. It is a trusted non-advocacy polling organization frequently consulted by mainstream media on these issues, especially as they relate to Americans with religious backgrounds. With Corporation support, PRRI will conduct extensive public opinion polling and research on how religious and moral commitments drive Americans’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration reform.

Duration

Description
Lawmakers have long approached and understood immigration as a bipartisan issue. Yet, over the past two years, political candidates have been discussing immigration as a means of polarizing voters and fueling partisan divisions. As was observed in the 2017 elections, American voters often reject anti-immigrant rhetoric and positions, signaling to party leaders the need to reassess their understanding of Americans’ positions on immigrants and immigration policy. Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) is the only nonpartisan research organization to map the opinions of Americans on immigration reform and immigrants in all fifty states, making it the go-to institution for polling research and analysis on immigration reform for journalists, policymakers, and advocacy groups. With renewed Corporation support, PRRI will conduct extensive public opinion polling and research on how religious and moral commitments drive Americans’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration reform.
