Opis

The 2016 elections called into question the accuracy of public opinion polling while tapping into new streams of public opinion more widely. The third edition of this well-established text addresses these questions and adds new perspectives—including emphases on race, gender and new media—to its authoritative line-up, looking ahead to 2020.
