3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but terribly dry

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Historical and Behind-the-Scenes Look, September 30, 1997
This review is from: The Superpollsters: How They Measure and Manipulate Public Opinion in America (Paperback)
I have read the original release, and I loved it. The opening chapter is boring, and could scare many readers away. Once I got past it however, I couldn't put it down. This book uncovers the mystery behind polling, and explains why it is so accurate, and how the process came to be that way. It also shows how a wrong interpretation can throw the entire prediction out the window, and the damage to credibility that causes. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone.
