Building the Multi-Partisan Commons
The Commons is a project that is creating more opportunities for constructive and informative conversations on and offline between Americans with differing political views. This survey is to help us gauge different Americans’ opinions and experiences in their communities and on social media in engaging with people across political beliefs or values.

We anticipate this survey will take 5-7 minutes of your time. Thank you very much for your participation!
