>>>>the Pew Research Center's poll<<<<

"I wonder," (Harry Truman) once said, "how far Moses would have gone if he'd taken a poll in Egypt.... It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It's right and wrong." From biographer David McCullouch

And his erudite Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, asked about the value of polls in making foreign policy,is said to have replied, "There's no such thing as public opinion." From second-hand.

And they didn't do a bad job of it. Of course, that was during blessed eras before CNN, political consultants, Limbaugh, and Monica. But I do like a portable phone around the house.
