This research note examines the views of election polls of a sample of political activists: delegates elected to the 1980 state conventions of the Oklahoma Democratic and Republican parties. Findings show that although just l3 percent of the delegates overall place high levels of trust in the results of major national polls, nearly a majority (45 percent) feel that poll results affect voter behavior. Both trust in election polls and perception of their impact on voters are found to increase with involvement or interest in electoral politics
