| Vox Populi |
 We
all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking. And out of it we get an
aggregation which we consider a boon. Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence.
It settles everything. Some think it the Voice of God.—Mark
Twain
"Corn-Pone Opinions"

| "President
Barack Obama begins his second term as president with 56% of Americans approving and 39%
disapproving of his overall job performance." "Conservatives (40%) outnumbered both moderates (36%) and
liberals (21%) across the nation in 2009."
"Most U.S. air travelers
(78%) approve of the use of full body scans of airline passengers."
"Seventy-three percent of Americans have a great
deal/fair amount of trust and confidence in 'the American people as a whole when it comes
to making judgments under our democratic system about the issues facing the
country.'"
Despite "an incredibly extensive effort to raise
public consciousness regarding climate change," Americans are "more likely than
ever to say that accounts of global warming are exaggerated." |
