CityView Polls
In 2021 the Suffolk University Political Research Center began the groundbreaking CityView project, a series of polls on racial justice, policing, and other urban issues in America’s most diverse cities. CityView polls investigate how urban residents feel about the state of race and city life in the 21st century, inform solutions to the conflict between law enforcement and the ongoing police and criminal justice reform movement, and move beyond the buzzwords of “black lives matter” or “defund the police.”

Statement of Methodology
This survey of 500 residents of the city of Miami was conducted July 10-July 14, 2024, and is based on live telephone interviews of adults 18 years of age or older, residing in all five city council districts in the city of Miami. Quota and demographic information -- including region, race, and age -- were determined from census and American Community Survey data. Surveys were administered in English and Spanish. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is +/- 4.4 percentage points. Error margins increase for smaller subgroups in the cross-tabulation document above. All surveys may be subject to other sources of error, including but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Poll students Emily Dempsey and Lauren Hyder contributed to the successful execution of this research.
