| | Public Opinion Polling in Canada (BP-371E) |
| | According to the theory of party decline, opinion polls during elections have usurped the campaign role of party workers as a source of political information and have largely replaced the local party organization as a line of communication between the public and elected representatives. | | | Whether opinion polls have significant or undue influence on the conduct of election campaigns and the decisions of voters continues to be the subject of debate. | | | In the United States, the National Council of Public Polls and the American Association of Public Opinion Research have long-established codes and have been considering mechanisms for adjudicating complaints. |

| | ABCNEWS.com : Poll: Kill Tax Cut to Avoid Deficit |
| | This poll suggests that the views of Kennedy and his allies are most persuasive when coupled with the risk of a deficit. | | | But a sizable number of people have no opinion on the issue, suggesting that neither side has yet firmly won its case in the public's mind. | | | Without the positive attribute of avoiding a deficit, dropping the tax cut is still preferred, but by less of a margin: Among respondents who were asked simply if they support or oppose canceling the tax cut, 45 percent favored canceling it, 36 percent keeping it. |

| | Jacobs & Shapiro, Politicians Don't Pander, excerpt |
| | Politicians themselves attempt to change public opinion not by directly persuading the public on the merits of their policy choices but by "priming" public opinion: they "stay on message" to highlight standards or considerations for the public to use in evaluating policy proposals. | | | Responding to public opinion at the expense of policy goals entailed compromising their own philosophical convictions and risked alienating ideologically extreme party activists and other supporters who volunteer and contribute money to their primary and general election campaigns. | | | Public opinion research is used by politicians to manipulate public opinion, that is, to move Americans to "hold opinions that they would not hold if aware of the best available information and analysis" (Zaller 1992, 313). |

| | Because Gallup's polls on public opinion on creationism extend back to 1982, its data are particularly useful. | | | Polled in November 2004, 38% of respondents chose (1), 13% chose (2), 45% chose (3), and 4% offered a different or no opinion. | | | These results are also similar to those from previous Gallup polls, which extend back to 1982. |

| | The poll did not ask the public's opinion regarding this requirement and whether it could be met; however, it did ask a number of questions designed to determine the extent to which getting and keeping good teachers is a problem. | | | Recognizing the importance of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and the extent to which it involves the federal government in decisions affecting schools at the K-12 level, those who plan this annual poll decided to focus this year's edition on NCLB. | | | Previous polls have made it clear that the public understands that there is a gap between the achievement of white students and that of Hispanic and black students. |

| | If you took a public opinion poll about polls, odds are that a majority would offer some rather unfavorable views of pollsters and the uses to which their work is put. | | | Friends of polls could note that the public, however grudgingly, agrees that polls are one tool for gauging public opinion and that leaders should consult public opinion. | | | Several conundrums of public opinion polling are enfolded in this hypothetical tale. |

| | Project on Defense Alternatives - Wanting Leadership: Public Opinion on Defense Spending |
| | When the status quo plurality is pushed to express a preference, 11 percent migrate to the "too high" opinion and nine percent migrate to the "too low." These results are broadly consistent with other recent polls on the question. | | | As summarized in the recent PIPA report, The Foreign Policy Gap, most opinion surveys show majorities of Americans supporting defense cuts if specifically in order to balance the budget. | | | A 1994 public opinion survey conducted by the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations finds between 26 percent and 34 percent of the public favoring defense spending cuts, depending on how the question is asked. |

| | Gallup called his polling company the American Institute of Public Opinion and billed the Gallup Poll as a reliable index of the voters' mood. | | | In 1984, George Gallup died of a heart attack while staying in his summer home in Switzerland, but the Gallup Poll stayed alive with sons Alec and George Gallup III in charge. | | | If he told everyone whom he voted for, Gallup explained, that would be seen as a way to influence the election's outcome. |
