The North Dakota Poll (ND Poll) will be the only regular, non-partisan statewide survey of eligible North Dakota voters and consumers. “The ND Poll will be the most comprehensive, cost-effective and accurate polling ever conducted in the state of North Dakota,” said Steve Andrist, NDNC co-chair. “We developed this new service to guide our own news coverage, but also want to make it available to others.” The ND Poll will serve as an “omnibus” survey providing media organizations, trade associations, businesses, government agencies and other interested groups with an affordable opportunity
