Institute for Public Policy
BRINGING PUBLIC PERSPECTIVES INTO THE POLICYMAKING PROCESS

 
 
In January, 1989, The Institute for Public Policy began publishing its "Quarterly Profile of New Mexico Citizens," a series of newsletters designed to provide the citizens and leaders of New Mexico with information on policy-related issues.  In winter of 1998, this became our "Public Opinion Profile of New Mexico Citizens,"  (or "POP") a biannual publication.  Since its inception, the series has provided ongoing analysis of the day's most pressing issues.

You'll find a listing of all profiles below, with links to a PDF version of each document, if available.  (These require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader---a link is provided below.)  In earlier issues, some graphs and diagrams have not transferred well to the Acrobat format---if you'd like a hard copy of an issue, please call us at 505.277.1099, or e-mail us at instpp@unm.edu
