Siena College Research Institute (SCRI) is an affiliate of Siena College, located originally in Friars Hall and now in Hines Hall on the college's campus, in Loudonville, New York, in suburban Albany.[1] [2] [3] It was founded in 1980.[4]

It conducts both expert and public opinion polls, focusing on New York State and the United States, on issues of public policy interest. They include education, health care, and consumer confidence, and explores business, economic, political, voter, social, educational, and historical issues.[4] [5] Most recently, SCRI conducted surveys on New Yorkers' sentiments towards the creation of the Cordoba House Mosque near the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan, and the Arizona Immigration Law.[6] [7]

In 2018, SCRI and The New York Times partnered to deliver the first real time Midterm Election polls.[8] [9] It currently holds a 3-star rating from FiveThirtyEight, their highest possible rating for a pollster.

Among other things, starting in 1982 SCRI has polled presidential scholars in an effort to rate both the United States presidents[10] [11] and U.S. First Ladies.[12] [13] [14] It has also conducted polls as to America's most notable women,[15] television's most memorable moment,[16] and consumer confidence.[17] [18]

Statistics and finance professor Doug Lonnstrom was its founding Director.[19] Donald P. Levy is its current director.[20] [21]
