The survey focuses on two areas of study. The demographics section describes the survey’s
participants. The Attitudes and Behaviors section describes the participants’ views and actions
around the nation’s democratic institutions and the media that covers it. Data in this summary is

6. How much trust would you say you have in the government?
The survey data reveal that nearly three-quarters of all students surveyed have less than
neutral feelings of trust in the government. The number of students who answered “no trust at
all” outnumber those that answered “completely trust” by a factor of 10-to-1. On average, the
participants responded with less-than-neutral trust in the government, (mean = 2.84).

7. How much trust would you say you have in the media?
The survey data closely resembles survey results from the previous “trust in government”
question. On average, respondents indicated that they have less-than-neutral trust in the media,
(mean = 2.86). Of all the survey questions on the topic of trust, this question has the narrowest
variability; the respondents were most unified in their responses about the media, (standard
deviation = 1.169).
8. How much trust would you say you have in our voting system?
In the third question describing respondents’ trust in democratic institutions increases
slightly. Compared to the average trust in government (2.84) and media (2.86), respondents are
more trusting of our voting system (mean = 3.62). However, respondents are also more evenly
distributed in their answers, (variance = 3.179).

9. To what extent do you believe that your vote matters?
In the fourth and final question regarding trust in our democratic institutions, participants
indicate that they are most unified in their belief that their vote matters. One-quarter of survey
participants (24.5%) responded at the top limit of the scale, indicating that their vote “totally
matters.” About 1-in-5 participants indicated that their vote mattered “not much” or “not at all”
(cumulative 19.8%).
10. Will you vote in the midterm elections in November of 2022 if you are eligible?
The following nominal data depicts the percentage of people in this study who will vote
in the elections, if eligible, in November of 2022. As shown in the graph below, over half of the
people in this survey plan on voting. Out of 192 people, 112 plan on voting in the mentioned
election, which concludes to 61% of the population. 20.3% of the population said no they will
not be voting, which involves 39 people in this study. 31 people, which is 16.1% of the people in
this study, are undecided/unsure whether or not they will be voting in the November 2022
election. Unfortunately, 4 people out of the 192 are ineligible to even vote, which only amounts
to 2.1% of the population.

11. Did you vote in the November 2020 election if you were eligible?
The following nominal data depicts how many people, if eligible, voted in the November
2020 election. As shown in the graph below, the n (number of people in this poll) was
192. As you can see, the majority of these people said yes to voting in this election. Out
of 192 people, 123 of them said yes, which equaled to 64 percent of the population. 18.8
percent of this population said no they did not vote which equaled to 36 people. Lastly,
33 of the people in the poll were not eligible to vote, which was equaled to 17.2 percent
of those in this study.
