Description

Explore the history of public opinion measurement in midcentury America with Pathways to Polling. This book examines a period when the polling industry faced a major crisis of legitimacy following the 1948 presidential election. When major firms incorrectly predicted a win for Thomas Dewey over Harry Truman, the field of quantitative analysis faced intense scrutiny. This work investigates how pollsters, market researchers, and academic or government survey experts worked together to defend and shape their profession. It looks at the entrepreneurial figures who helped build the networks that define how we understand public sentiment today. For students and professionals in anthropology, sociology, and political science, this text provides a deep look into the development of polling as a formal discipline. Learn how the industry moved from a moment of failure to a structured profession through cooperation and adaptation.
