Support Levels

Understand and set support levels during canvassing

Support levels are a key metric for campaigns to gauge voter sentiment. FieldEdge uses NationBuilder's support level scale, letting you record a contact's level of support during canvass walks and call time sessions.

The Support Level Scale

Level	Meaning
1	Strong support
2	Lean support
3	Undecided
4	Lean oppose
5	Strong oppose

Setting a Support Level During Canvass

When completing a contact during a canvass walk or call time session:

1. After selecting the contact status (e.g., Answered), you'll be prompted to set a support level

2. Tap the appropriate level (1–5)

3. The support level is saved and synced to NationBuilder

Support level is not a required field. If you don't have enough information to gauge support, you can skip it and move on.

Viewing Support Levels

Support levels are visible on a contact's profile under the Support tab. They also appear in the Performance reports, where you can see average support levels and breakdowns by canvasser.
