 | | It is a well established fact in public opinion polling that most Americans for nearly all of the last quarter century have desired reductions in legal and illegal immigration. | | | However, the huge difference between the public and opinion leaders on the issue of immigration is an important social phenomenon and is clearly an area in need of further exploration. | | | One common assumption is that citizens do not act on their opinions about an issue unless that issue is one of the two or three most important issues to them. |

| | Public Opinion Polling in Canada (BP-371E) |
| | Although the term "public opinion" is widely used to imply a unanimous viewpoint, it should be pointed out that members of the public hold diverse opinions on any issue and that each issue usually interests only a certain segment of the population. | | | Moreover, in Canada, pockets of opinion have tended to be based on regional considerations; issues concerning the forest industry or fisheries, for example, obviously evoke more sharply defined opinions in some areas of the country than in others. | | | 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. |

| | Jacobs & Shapiro, Politicians Don't Pander, excerpt |
| | We suggest that this kind of overconfidence in the power of crafted talk to move public opinion explains the political overreaching and failure that was vividly displayed by Clinton's health reform effort during the 1993-94 period and the Republicans' campaign for their policy objectives beginning with their "Contract with America" during 1995-96. | | | Chapter 9 turns to the larger normative issues of whether elected officials should respond to public opinion or pursue their own preferences and judgments. | | | Indeed, Republicans' dogged pursuit of impeachment was premised on the assumption that poll-honed presentations would ultimately win public support for their actions. |

| | However, this sphere of public discourse is transient, and will eventually disappear as increasing state intervention blurs the boundaries between public and private. | | | In certain circumstances this may be the case, but it will be the exception rather than the rule, and it is difficult to identify this kind of a forum with a particular stage in the development of the media. | | | Habermas claims that this public use of reason not only acts as a regulatory mechanism over the state, which is now highly visible, but also as a catalyst for the replacement of the absolutist regime with a liberal democratic government. |
