Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Internet surveys are rapidly becoming an accepted procedure in political science, yet questions about them remain. Using samples of college students aged 18-24 from four Internet surveys, three phone surveys, a Knowledge Networks web-enabled survey, and a mixed-method survey, we seek to understand the effects of Internet sampling of young adults on the assessment of voter registration, party identification, political ideology, and political engagement. We find that the Internet surveys showed significant differences with surveys conducted with other sampling methods. In particular, the Internet surveys attracted a considerably more activist sample of college students than the phone surveys. They also seemed to attract more ideologically extreme respondents. Less clear is whether they attracted strong partisans at the expense of Independent identifiers. While the Internet continues to provide an enticing and efficient mechanism for reaching young people, problems with opt-in panels suggest that serious attention needs to be given to improved ways of sampling.
