Segura, professors of political science at UW, are the principal investigators. Other collaborators on the poll include John Gastil and Patricia Moy, professors of communications at UW, Christopher Parker and Bethany Albertson, professors of political science at UW, and Todd Donovan, professor of political science at WWU.
