商品簡介
Many have accused American presidents of governing by polls. Examining the administrations from Nixon to Clinton, each of which spent millions of dollars on polls, Heith (government and politics, St. Johns U.) assesses the extent to which polls impacted governing behavior, finding that polls influenced presidential messages and responses to events, but finds that the model of leadership based upon the idea of the "permanent campaign" is not supported.
