1 Introduction: Polling, Public Opinion, and the Mexican Polity
Roderic Ai Camp
Americans take for granted that public opinion polling, especially since the famed Truman-Dewey presidential race in 1948, is a natural and significant, if sometimes misleading, ingredient in the political landscape of electoral politics. In recent years, polling has affected policymaking in the executive branch and in Congress, where it is used as a vehicle through which individual politicians and political parties may test the political pulse of the nation, or through which the public, through the media, may communicate its perspectives, desires, and frustrations to its governmental leadership.
