It is now 11 weeks later. Any idea when we might
see the survey
results released?
I've sent the survey team a first set of priority questions for
analysis. I haven't received an ETA yet, but I will report results as
soon as they become available, and I hope it's a matter of weeks, not
months, at this point. This will not yet be the full in-depth
analysis, which will probably take until March/April.
This still feels like an awful long time. I understand the desire to
do synthesis and interpretation, but is there some reason why basic
summary data can't be released much faster than 3+ months? For
example, the number of people choosing each option on each question.
While there is value in picking apart subgroups and performing
regressions (especially when you have such a huge sample size!), many
of us aren't even sure what the first-order patterns will look like so
it would be nice to see some data released.
