About Us

The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll is a monthly poll released by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies, The Harris Poll, and HarrisX.

The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll is conducted by The Harris Poll & HarrisX online within the United States every month and captures the responses of over 2,000 registered voters. The results reflect a nationally representative sample. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, and education where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.
