The combined landline and cell phone sample was weighted to reflect the gender, age, race, and council district parameters of the Orleans Parish voter file obtained from the Louisiana Secretary of State.

The University of New Orleans Survey Research Center (SRC) has released the results of a live-interviewer telephone survey of likely voters in Orleans Parish conducted September 20–24, 2025. A total of 409 randomly selected respondents participated. The combined landline and cell phone sample was weighted to reflect the gender, age, race, and council district parameters of the Orleans Parish voter file obtained from the Louisiana Secretary of State. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.8 percent at the 95 percent level of confidence.

The report also includes detailed breakdowns of voter opinion on the direction of the city, mayoral job approval ratings, and candidate support by race, gender, age, and council district.

“This survey reflects UNO’s commitment to providing high-quality, nonpartisan data that helps the community better understand local public opinion,” said Dr. Edward Chervenak, director of the Survey Research Center.

The project was supported by UNO faculty, staff and students, including participants from Dr. Chervenak’s Southern Politics and Research and Methods classes and Dr. Michael Pickering’s Comparative Democratization and Politics of International Economic Relations classes.
