Edmontonians Magazine Poll Station

Banister Research conducts a monthly poll for the Edmontonians magazine. Edmontonians is a local publication which profiles people, places and events in the capital region. The Poll Station surveys 100 local residents or business people regarding a variety of interesting topics. While the results of the research are not statistically reliable, they do provide a qualitative indication of what people are thinking. Each month, the Banister Research website is updated to include the new Poll Station results.
