Description
Richard Dresner is Chairman and Founder of Dresner, Wickers and Associates of New York. He has served as a consultant, strategist and pollster for several US governors, senators and mayors. In 1996, he was special advisor to Boris Yeltsin's election team. This article is based on remarks to a November 21, 1996 seminar organized by the Library of Parliament in co-operation with the cultural Affairs Division of the United States Embassy. Much has been written on various aspects of the public opinion polling that finds its way into the headlines of daily newspapers and television. But less is known about the kind of private polling done for political candidates. This article sheds some light on this facet of electoral politics.
