University of Delaware national survey shows Clinton at 46 percent and Trump at 42 percent
A new University of Delaware Center for Political Communication survey finds that 46% of registered voters would vote for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and 42% would vote for Republican candidate Donald Trump, if the presidential election were being held today. The nationally representative telephone survey, conducted on July 21-24, 2016, interviewed 1,000 adult U.S. respondents by landline and cell phone, including 818 registered voters.

National survey shows public still opposes Internet ‘fast lanes’ but resists government regulation
As a federal court considers new national rules on Internet service, a November 2015 national survey by the University of Delawares Center for Political Communication shows most people still oppose Internet “fast lanes.” But the survey also shows Americans are reluctant to give the federal government power to regulate “net neutrality.” The study shows that a large majority of people surveyed still oppose Internet fast lanes (71 percent). Opposition is down from a similar survey one year ago (81 percent), when President Barack Obama announced his support for new net neutrality rules. Such rules would restrict Internet providers from offering “fast lanes” in the form of premium service to web streaming operations such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. University of Delaware’s Communications and Public Affairs published the findings in a December 2015 article, “Internet opinions.” Media outlets such as Delaware Public Media, Wired.com and Phys.org reported the UD study.

National survey on rights and protections for transgender people
The CPC’s November 2015 national survey, conducted by CPC Director Paul Brewer, examined public support for transgender rights and protections. Despite age, gender, and political divisions, most people surveyed favored protection from discrimination for transgender individuals both in schools and in workplaces. A large majority also supported allowing transgender people to serve openly in the U.S. military. University of Delaware’s Communications and Public Affairs reported the study’s results in a November 2015 article, “Transgender Rights, Protections.”
