We constantly see surveys cited in the news on everything from politics to soup. We'll look at how polls are developed and how they influence policy. Laura's guests are Andy Smith, Director of UNH's Survey Center www.unh.edu/ipssr/survey-center , and Lynn Vavreck, Assistant Professor of Government at Dartmouth's Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and Civic Leadership www.dartmouth.edu/~rocky/TheCenter/nelson.html . This is a rebroadcast of an earlier program.
