How are the survey questions chosen?
The overwhelming majority of the survey’s questions were established in 2008, when the original Better Pensacola Forum committee collaborated with Mason-Dixon Polling to identify metrics that would assess our citizens’ opinions regarding the City of Pensacola and Escambia County. Those original questions have remained unchanged since 2008. In 2011, a question was added to assess the job performance of Pensacola’s new “strong mayor,” and in 2014 questions were added to assess the job performance of other elected officials. PYP decides on a small number of new questions to add each year to assess timely or topical issues. There are 65 items on the 2019 survey, including demographics questions. Of those 65, PYP chose 25 items we believe are most critical to highlight at this time.
