Since 2020, Saint Louis University (SLU) has worked with YouGov to poll Missouri citizens on current issues in politics and education. We surveyed 900 likely Missouri voters from August 13–August 24, 2026 to inform stakeholders on public opinion on political and education-related policy issues. In this brief, we dive into the education-related results.

This brief analyzes Missouri voters’ perceptions of public school quality using nine waves of the SLU/YouGov poll from 2020–2025 (N=7,281).
