| | Opinion poll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first known example of an opinion poll was a local straw vote conducted by The Harrisburg Pennsylvanian in 1824, showing Andrew Jackson leading John Quincy Adams by 335 votes to 169 in the contest for the United States Presidency. | | | The best-known failure of opinion polling to date in the United States was the prediction that Thomas Dewey would defeat Harry S. Truman in the 1948 Presidential election. | | | One site, Opinion Republic (http://www.opinionrepublic.com) is an experiment to capture public opinion and then converge on the most broadly accepted opinions. |

| | Regular polling over the years has found a deep gulf in immigration opinions between the public and the tiny fraction of Americans who are in the "Opinion Elite" (top leaders of corporations, unions, religion, universities, think tanks, political parties, the federal Administration and Congress). | | | The public is far more favorable to decreasing legal immigration than the Opinion Elite (57 percent of the public versus 18 percent of Opinion Elite). | | | Arizona voters approved Proposition 200 to prevent illegal aliens from voting and require state and local government employees who discover a violation of federal immigration law to make a written report to federal immigration authorities. |
