"(Media-Newswire.com) - Los Angeles -- The Los Angeles Times and the University of Southern California College of Letters, Arts & Sciences today announced they will jointly sponsor a series of six statewide public opinion polls beginning November 8, 2009, and continuing throughout California's crucial 2010 elections for governor and U.S. Senate. This is the first such cooperative venture of this magnitude between a major newspaper and a major research university in the state of California.

The University of Southern California College of Letters, Arts & Sciences/Los Angeles Times Poll will be taken at regular intervals during the next 14 months, and will be designed to survey California residents' attitudes on a wide range of political, policy, social and cultural issues.

'We are extremely pleased to team up with the Times to offer in-depth insight and analysis of the historic 2010 campaign,' said Howard Gillman, dean of USC College of Letters, Arts & Sciences. 'The partnership will provide unique experiential learning opportunities for USC College students, and will also enhance the ability of our faculty to address issues that are critical to California's future.'"
