A MESSAGE FROM WBUR
We in the WBUR Newsroom want to make sure that much of our coverage of the 2020 presidential election is rooted in your concerns.
|
|
|
That's why we've developed a survey to determine which issues matter to you the most, and what you want the candidates to discuss as they vie for your votes. We'll publish the survey's findings — along with results from another survey being conducted by our partners, the MassINC Polling Group — and use the takeaways to help shape our coverage of the unfolding presidential race.
