Is it used wisely Power of the polls editorial view
The piece argues polls hold power politicians doubt, but usage varies. It cites Krim and Crossley testing Johnson in 1964, Nixon and Kennedy in 1968, and debates bandwagon effects. Gallup counters that polls rarely drive policy and may counteract special interests, not distort government.
