Poll workers stand by waiting for voters to cast their ballots during absentee voting at the Bruce R. Watkins Cultural Center in 2020.

New polling from The Midwest Newsroom and Emerson College Polling Center highlights the views of voters in four states — including Missouri and Kansas — on political and social issues like abortion, control of police, and more.

The Midwest Newsroom, based at KCUR, has gathered new polling data on how voters feel about major issues in the states of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.

The Midwest Newsroom partnered with Emerson College Polling to conduct surveys of registered voters Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska between Sept. 26 and Oct. 2. The sample size was 1,000 persons in each state, with a margin of error of + or – 3% and a 95% confidence level.

On the issue of abortion, polling in Missouri and Kansas garnered similar results.

The Midwest Newsroom also asked Missourians and Kansans whether they believe elected officials are influenced mostly by their own self interests or by what is in the best interests of their state.

You can learn more the data uncovered by the Midwest Newsroom's polling here.
