ONE of the oldest controversies in opinion research relates to the political significance of poll results. Should they be regarded as the voice of the sovereign people, or are they irrelevant to the politician? Opinion research can make a significant contribution to the formation of political policy, this article argues, but only if it is designed to throw light on the elements of the political process as it actually functions. The opinion poll cannot short-circuit the political process, but can help it work more efficiently. The author is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, and a member of the University's Committee on Communications
