This book attempts to explain how presidential polling evolved from a rarely conducted secretive enterprise to a commonplace event that is now considered an integral part of the presidency.

They do not trust institutions such as Congress, the media and political parties, and their measurements of opinion. Synopsis:The Evolution of Presidential Polling is a book about presidential power and autonomy. Since Roosevelt, virtually all presidents have employed private polls in some capacity. This book explains how presidential polling evolved as presidents sought to gain autonomy from the institutions that measure public opinion by conducting their own polls.
