Imagine you are intending to run for President in 2020. To have a realistic chance of election, you must run either as a Democrat or a Republican, and you should say which you are running as. Your two main goals are (i) to win the 2020 Presidential election, which also involves winning your chosen party’s primary election in order to get the party’s nomination (ii) to campaign on issues, and policies related to those issues, that you believe in and that you would actually like to implement. You will certainly need to make some compromises here in balancing these two goals (e.g. your preferred policy stance on a particular issue might make you unelectable, in which case you probably should not advocate for it). You should, in your written project, explain these considerations.
Part 1: Use figure1-3 to analyze where you expect public opinion to stand on three key policy issues that you intend to stress in your campaign to be elected President in 2020. Include in your written project a chart outlining the results for each of these three issues.
Part 2: Use figure 4-6 to analyze  of each of these three issues by a demographic variable( the demographic variable already shows in figure) Include in your written project a chart outlining the crosstabulation for each of these three issues.
Part 3: Campaign Memo
Go online and search one or more of the LA Times, New York Times, Washington Post or Wall Street Journal, or any other major source of current polls, and look in them for recent (preferably last six months) survey data.    Use these polls to supplement your analysis for at least one of your policy variables.
Write a campaign memo addressed to your election staff (i.e. this is your written project), explaining to your staff what stance you and the campaign should take on these three issues in order to maximize a favorable electoral outcome in 2020. Base your views on the survey data you have researched, and refer to the survey data/charts.
