Umfragen / Polls Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Umfragen / Polls:

In the United States, one of the main topics of academic political science is the study of attitudes and policy and their correlation. The study of attitudes is reasonably easy in the United States: heavily-polled society, pretty serious and accurate polls, and policy you can see, and you can compare them. Noam Chomsky

Last month, the Iraqi people went to the polls, voting in their first free election in more than 50 years.

John M. McHugh

I think that five, 10, 50 years down the road, we'll be honoring President Barack Obama for ending two wars, stopping the economic hemorrhage and, yes, reducing the number of uninsured. And the polls won't matter.

Donna Brazile

If you think of the 1930s in film as the decade of Gable and Lombard, Cagney and Harlow, Stanwyck and the Marx Brothers, think again. The biggest star - No. 1 in the 1936, '37 and '38 exhibitor polls - was a three-time box-office champ before she was 10. Shirley Temple, singer, dancer, and prime exemplar of Movie Cute, owned the '30s.

Richard Corliss

Senator Martinez is not driven by polls; he is driven by the needs of the state of Florida and its 17 million constituents.

Mel Martinez

The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.

Geraldine Ferraro

America is inundated with polls. We need a term for being swamped with polls. I would say 'poll-arized,' but that's already in use to describe our political divisions.

Donna Brazile

I think the people will- who advocate having a step back and read those public opinion polls on the front page of the newspapers all over this country saying public supports restoration in restoration of the Everglades, protection of the parks and the creation of monuments.

Bruce Babbitt

Being a skeptical and thoughtful consumer of polls is essential.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

The polls and the pundits and the media seem to talk to each other. It's sort of like an echo chamber.

Larry Hogan

I am 90. I can work day or night. I'm the same guy, but the polls show the effect of age. That's the issue.

Ralph Hall

On the one hand, she is cut off from the protection awarded to her sisters abroad; on the other, she has no such power to defend her interests at the polls, as is the heritage of her brothers at home.

Florence Kelley

And on election night I'd go down to city hall in El Paso, Texas and cover the election. In those days, of course, we didn't have exit polls. You didn't know who had won the election until they actually counted the votes. I thought that was exciting too.

Sam Donaldson

Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented, they break 3-to-1 against it.

Dick Morris

We have too many politicians who are poll-driven to excess. Polls are important. You've got to know what the public is thinking, but you can't let them drive you completely.

Rudy Giuliani

I will continue my involvement in politics through Lord Ashcroft Polls and my political publishing interests: Conservative Home, Biteback Publishing and Dods.

Michael Ashcroft

Leaders are responsible not for running public opinion polls but for the consequences of their actions.

Henry Kissinger

These days there are not enough of such intermediary groups, between the state and the individual, with the result that political leaders are often unduly guided by opinion polls.

Jacques Delors

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

J. B. Priestley

I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born, they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation, not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls, that they go from their gut check.

Kevin Costner

A hit show takes Hollywood magic indeed, but it also takes a lot of math and science, plus the study of polls and trends to make and sell a TV show.

Kristoffer Polaha

I don't consult polls to tell me what my principles are or what our policies should be.

Paul Ryan

Even with flexible time off to vote, it's still difficult for our people to juggle work, polls, childcare, and other responsibilities.

Richard Edelman

They may then be willing to cast principled votes based on an educated understanding of the public interest in the face of polls suggesting that the public itself may have quite a different understanding of where its interest lies.

James L. Buckley

In the Tea Party narrative, victory at the polls means a new American revolution, one that will 'take our country back' from everyone they disapprove of. But what they don't realize is, there's a catch: This is America, and we have an entrenched oligarchical system in place that insulates us all from any meaningful political change.

Matt Taibbi

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

Al Gore

I have this to say to the people: go the polls and vote for the candidate of your choice... This is your responsibility; do not neglect it.

Hosni Mubarak

Too many young musicians today want to win polls before they learn their instruments.

Benny Goodman

The Washington establishment think Republicans win elections by you don't stand for anything, you keep your head down, you don't rock the boat. You know what? Every time we do that, we get clobbered in the polls.

Ted Cruz

I always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day.

Benjamin Netanyahu

Franklin Roosevelt didn't poll, because he had great political instincts. Now we have polls; we don't need instincts. But is that a change in principle? Is it a change in principle that we use a Xerox instead of carbon paper? It's of the same order of magnitude.

Dick Morris

According to recent opinion polls, a large majority of Iraqis believe that the U.S. military has no intention to leave Iraq, and that it would stay even is asked by the Iraqi government to leave.

John Conyers

I think President Bush tried to step up on Social Security even though the polls showed that was unpopular. He has not been successful and backed off, but I admire people who take on big problems.

Donna Shalala

There is no actual need to tighten voter ID rules: there have been extraordinarily few instances of people committing fraud at the polls.

Adam Cohen

I think we have a fascinating new and quite dominant input into politics - and it wont go away. From time to time, people articulate a view that we should ban opinion polls, but that's nonsense.

Jim Bolger

If the critics are right that I've made all my decisions based on polls, then I must not be very good at reading them.

Barack Obama

The only tactic liberals have is to try to intimidate people into thinking that the Tea Party is racist. The Tea Party is not a racist movement, period! If it were, why would the straw polls keep showing that the black guy is winning? That's a rhetorical question. Let me state it: The black guy keeps winning.

Herman Cain
