Praise for American Public Opinion The strengths of this text have always been the authors' thorough coverage of the topic of political opinion. The book is a great primer on the most important factors. Additionally, the book is a relatively easy read for students. It is not laden with academic jargon and data is presented in a straightforward manner. The new edition is a timely update and it will continue to be my go-text for my public opinion course. -Monika McDermott, Fordham University American Public Opinion is well organized and uses excellent examples. Its focus dovetails with the way I organize my course. It is clearly written, and accessible to undergraduates. It's also about the right length. It's the perfect textbook for my course on Public Opinion, and the new edition will be greatly welcomed with its enhanced discussion of polarization, the updating of material to reflect recent scholarship, and recent developments in American politics. -Howard Gold, Smith College Praise for American Public Opinion The strengths of this text have always been the authors' thorough coverage of the topic of political opinion.
