Polling Quotes

Polling is merely an instrument for gauging public opinion. When a president or any other leader pays attention to poll results, he is, in effect, paying attention to the views of the people. Any other interpretation is nonsense. George Gallup
Polls are frequently taken to try to tease out or determine likely directions and trends, but once taken, they belong to the past, requiring that new polls be taken. Alan Dundes
Sarah Palin quote: "Polls? Nah... they're for strippers and cross country skiers."
Polls? Nah... they're for strippers and cross country skiers. Sarah Palin
Herman Cain quote: "Polls are inaccurate in my opinion, based upon anecdotal..."

Polls that have been taken by kindergarten, first- and second-grade teachers indicate that 30 percent of the kids have been deprived in some way so that they are physically unable to keep up with the class. C. Everett Koop
Let me tell you the polls that count, and those are the polls a couple of weeks before the election. That's when the pollsters worry about holding onto their credibility. Those are the polls that everybody remembers. Rush Limbaugh
Squabbling in public will eventually ruin football; there's no doubt it's hurting us already. Polls taken by Louis Harris - polls as valid as any political polls - indicate that very clearly. Pete Rozelle

More intriguingly, in poll after poll, when Americans are asked what public institutions they most respect, three bodies are always at the top of their list: the Supreme Court, the armed forces, and the Federal Reserve System. All three have one thing in common: they are insulated from the public pressures and operate undemocratically. It would seem that Americans admire these institutions, preciselly because they lead rather than follow. Fareed Zakaria
On February 7, 2.2 million Haitians went to the polls and exercised their constitutional right to select a leader. They went by foot, by tap tap and other forms of transportation, traveling hours and standing in line for almost a day to get to their polling places. Mark Foley
Robert. L. Ehrlich quote: "Leaders do not sway with the polls. Instead, they sway the..."
Leaders do not sway with the polls. Instead, they sway the polls through their own words and actions. Robert. L. Ehrlich
A 1990 Gallup poll found that 77 percent of Americans polled said abortion was the taking of human life. I agree, and believe that taking the life on an innocent child is unjust. Robert Casey
The polls are just being used as another tool of voter suppression. The polls are an attempt to not reflect public opinion, but to shape it. Yours. They want to depress the heck out of you. Rush Limbaugh
Nate Silver quote: "I view my role now as providing more of a macro-level..."
I view my role now as providing more of a macro-level skepticism, rather than saying this poll is good or this poll is evil. Nate Silver
Al Sharpton quote: "Bill Clinton strikes me as the kind of guy who goes wherever..."
Bill Clinton strikes me as the kind of guy who goes wherever the polls lead him, rather than leading the polls. Al Sharpton
