Description
The first in-depth analysis of the link between politicians' behavior and opinion polls. Exploring political action within a broad historical context, the book develops a theory to show how the behavior of politicians, and the unfolding of political change, have been irrevocably altered since the advent of opinion polling in the 1930s.

Media Reviews
A wonderful contribution to presidential and leadership studies. Geer masterfully synthesizes a 'soft' rational choice perspective with historical analysis to shed new light on the evolving nature of presidential leadership in the information age. The book displays a rare combination of analytical rigor and clarity in the writing to make it a joy to read.
