Description - Political Polling by Jeffrey M. Stonecash

Polling is crucial to the success of political campaigns. Professor and pollster Jeffrey M. Stonecash combines seventeen years of practical polling experience with academic theory to show how and why polling is done and how information can be used to help win elections. Containing examples, survey questions, sample selections, calling scripts and other elements of successful polls, the volume emphasizes interpreting information to move voters to support a candidate. The focus is on understanding the context of an election, the situation of a candidate and the role of issues. Objectivity of the pollster and campaign ethics are hallmarks of Stonecash's recommendations. The book concludes with an appendix offering a sample report on a poll conducted for a US District Attorney candidate.
