If we're such a great employer, why aren't we facing the reality of the hard questions and the poor ratings that come in some of the employee surveys? We make a sport, it seems, of paying consultants a lot of money, bringing them in, baiting them, laughing at them and then kicking them out.

Daniel Mudd

We've gotten better at the surveys and added more areas we think manatees will be.

Holly Edwards

Mike Schulze

Over three October surveys, he's steadily increased the percentage of people who say he is likable, honest and able to get things done; the qualifications gap between him and Gore is also much diminished. There is nothing here that would lead me to say that there are signs of a nascent Gore movement; it is all pushing toward Bush.

Andy Kohut

Tom Proch

Slade O'brien

Users were down on the future right after Katrina, and it showed in our surveys. Then last month they more than doubled their spending outlook when users realized the economy was still perking along. This month they came back to earth. Small business executives were especially realistic.

John Gantz

The rankings of attendance and voting participation tell citizens how often their legislator was there to represent them. The effectiveness rankings tell citizens how effective their legislator was when he or she was there. The surveys hold a mirror up to the Legislature and the rankings are the reflection.

Ran Coble

Anecdotes, including purchasing manager surveys and regional and national Fed indices, do little to support the consensus view of a 210,000 gain. Moreover, the market has a tendency to overestimate November payrolls.

Toni Sacconaghi

It's great for Wilson. John Bethune, head of the Barton School of Business, has done a lot of surveys for the Chamber of Commerce. It's about half a million dollars impact to Wilson.

David Bowers

We try to limit the number of times a person participates in these surveys - for instance, they often don't want someone who has done similar studies every month.

Debby Iott

This program is definitely needed and most welcome. We've done surveys of our clients and they say that red tape is one of their top three concerns. Anything that will prevent entrepreneurs from staying awake at night worrying about this kind of thing is great because they should really be focusing on more important matters, such as their marketing plans and attracting customers.

Stephen Daze

I'm just glad to see the surveys show what we thought was important. These are some of the same things we've been talking about.

Charlene Mcgriff

Equipment vendors are citing 'willingness to pay' surveys to show that people will pay up to 10 per month for mobile TV, but we generally view such surveys skeptically. It's one thing to say that you're willing to pay; it's quite another thing to actually pay.

Karen Minkel

Survey respondents are facing flat job growth figures and are mirroring the concerns expressed in other surveys about the national economy, which has slowed considerably from solid growth in the first three quarters of 2005. Purchasing managers are displaying mixed signals looking forward into 2006.

Peter Gioia

Having a survey without bias is clearly the goal here. Surveys are tricky. You can load a question and I'd like to really avoid that. We'll make the questions as neutral as possible.

Chris Mickelsen

Very few of the responses will have a post-attack impact, ... In the last two weeks people have ... been very distracted. Filling out response cards to consumer confidence surveys has not really been their number one priority.

Gail Fosler

We need things like a paved parking lot, additional bathrooms with handicap access, emergency lighting, surveys, new architectural plans and a whole lot more. Obviously, as renters with a lease expiring soon and a very tight budget, we are in no position to do this amount of work.

Dennis Pepe

In customer surveys, all of the amenities we have rate high, except rooms.

Don Padgett Ii

Travel surveys show that parents want to spend more time with their children, and, believe it or not, kids say they want to do things with their parents. This gives them something to do together.

Doug Bennett

We talk to anyone in the community. There are times when we have just parent surveys or just student surveys. But this one is for anyone over 18 in a household.

James Shanahan

In consumer surveys, most prefer dealer referral rather than direct. They want the best information available. Today, they want to do 60 percent of work online, and I see that migrating to 90 percent. But it's a big purchase decision. They want to validate it by going out and looking in person.

Dean Debiase

We are sending out the surveys to those on a randomly generated list so we can get a more accurate representation of the greater community's input and ideas on the project. This project needs to fit the community's needs, so the more input we get earlier on, the better.

Ryan Sims

I would say check out the results from the surveys on Medicare.gov. it has a list you can compare in all states that have homes receiving Medicare and Medicaid.

Lois Nelson

Daniel Brandt

These surveys tend to be media responsive, moving according to however the news is going. If you're trying to get true insight, it's not clear that's at all helpful.

Charles Blood

We know in the past that there are effects that have hurt our surveys.

Scott Ransom

These game lands' aerial surveys came about through the efforts of Commissioner Greg Isabella.

Andy Alexander

It's not hard to understand why business confidence surveys report significant pessimism.

Rob Hosack

Staff should be exploring ways of aggregating information, based on surveys and focus groups, to make the site meaningful to users.

Gary Bass

We would really like to see the surveys returned because that way these people can take an active role in changing their lives and promoting the work force. We all need to do our part.

Deveron Gibbons

Data is very helpful in writing grant proposals to get funding for subsequent surveys. We certainly hope that this basic survey will provide a channel for future surveys based on the findings of this survey.

Gregg Kaufman

As the surveys have indicated, we need to become more regional in our thinking, bringing in other communities and even some cooperation with the other two states neighboring us.

Charles Coggins

We met with different stakeholders, and done different surveys to get a different understanding.

Laura Lopez

The timing of the survey's start and early dismissal, and the DHS gag order and stonewalling of Judicial Watch's request, suggest that the administration is playing politics with border security data. I hope that this is not the case.

Tom Tancredo

Growth did dip in the fourth quarter, but all of the business surveys suggest it will bounce back quite strongly.

Dario Perkins

Our children are regularly asked very detailed questions about their personal lives and parents are seldom notified. Too often these surveys are worded in ways that nearly encourage ... unhealthy behaviors.

Victoria Cobb

The overall tone (of the consumer report) raises all these unwarranted fears and anxieties about pesticides. Raising fears poses a much greater risk of harming health than do residues on foods measured by government surveys.

Brian Sansoni

Avery Shenfeld

We want to be the operating system that integrates all these surveys and measurement tools for Fortune 500 clients.

Morgan Stewart

[Still, a Detroit News poll out this morning shows Kerry has opened up a 5-point lead among likely voters in Michigan. That's technically within the survey's margin of error,] but it certainly looks good for John Kerry in Michigan, ... none of the above.

Steve Mitchell

The manufacturing surveys from September confirm that there has been no broad-based deterioration in activity due to the energy price spike in the aftermath of Katrina. This is quite promising for the growth outlook.

Haseeb Ahmed

January purchasing managers' surveys signal that the impressive acceleration in manufacturing activity from the final quarter of 2005 has carried over into the new year.

David Hensley

It was our goal for 100 percent of students to get their first or second choice, and that happened -- of the students who turned in their forms. I was pretty confident that it would happen because of the work we had done beforehand with surveys.

Laurie Cooper

We can't verify the accuracy of the numbers. All of our internal surveys show high customer satisfaction. And after a review of the complaints involving Prudential, it seems clear that since 1997, the number of complaints has consistently gone down.

Bob Defillippo

In our surveys, 85 to 90 percent of these kids say they want to go to college.

Saul Henry

The idea was to leverage customer involvement in the Web site and use it as a marketing tool. Most recent surveys say customers are very interested in what other online shoppers have to say. They trust the voice of other customers more than they trust the retailer or manufacturer.

John Lazarchic

From our surveys, it is evident there is more demand in higher-price points.

John Bremond

Surveys we have seen suggest parents are using them.

Wayne Gustaveson

As the database grows, we will be able to furnish advisors with peer-group benchmarks, so they can provide evidence-based advice. The wealthy don't fill out surveys.

Edith Wharton

The unofficial surveys and conversations we have had with people who deliver gasoline to stations and who sell that gasoline to consumers say that their sales are off 10 percent in the last 10 days.

Ben Brockwell

Cremation is almost always chosen by the deceased. Surveys show people choose it because it's easier to arrange.

Jack Springer

There have been so many different ideas and surveys for the last 20 years. People here are so proud of their (shroud). In some way, they don't really want to know the truth.

Evelina Christillin

It's a very small decline. It's definitely settling in a downtrend and all the information from the surveys and from that kind of data point to the labor market stabilizing and improving and we should see that in the payroll numbers.

Elisabeth Denison

It's a very small decline, ... It's definitely settling in a downtrend and all the information from the surveys and from that kind of data point to the labor market stabilizing and improving and we should see that in the payroll numbers.
