I think we have a fascinating new and quite dominant input into politics - and it wont go away. From time to time, people articulate a view that we should ban opinion polls, but that's nonsense. ~ Jim Bolger
Opinion Polls quotes by Jim Bolger
I think you can not be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. ~ Dick Cheney
Opinion Polls quotes by Dick Cheney
Nobody looks at opinion polls with more attention than politicians, but of course you've got to remember that a single poll is a snapshot in time. ~ Malcolm Turnbull
Opinion Polls quotes by Malcolm Turnbull
It's not opinion polls that determine the outcome of elections, it's votes in ballot boxes. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Opinion Polls quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
Of course I base all my election promises and policies on opinion polls ~ Kevin Rudd
Opinion Polls quotes by Kevin Rudd
I have never been over-concerned or obsessed with opinion polls or popularity polls. I think a leader who is, is a weak leader. If you are concerned with whether your rating will go up or down, then you are not a leader. You are just catching the wind ... you will go where the wind is blowing. And that's not what I am in this for. ~ Lee Kuan Yew
Opinion Polls quotes by Lee Kuan Yew
People feel that European institutions are remote and bureaucratic, run by shady cosmopolitan elites. Britain is not absolutely exceptional because if you look at the opinion polls, those sentiments are now quite widespread also in continental Europe. ~ Timothy Garton Ash
Opinion Polls quotes by Timothy Garton Ash
The British press ... [claimed that Tony] Blair was simply Bush's poodle - a favorite phrase, bewilderingly popular, although it made no sense - and that he was ignoring the will of the British people. Considering the hacks had spent Blair's first six years in office condemning him for relying on focus groups and opinion polls for his policies - in other words, paying attention to nothing but the will of the people, or at least their whims - that seemed a little rich to me, but as I said, logical consistency has never figured highly in the British media's scale of values. ~ Larry King
Opinion Polls quotes by Larry King
So nearly everyone had an opinion. Polls showed that most supported the Russell program, an informal name for Sax's plans to terraform the planet by all means possible, as fast as they could. ~ Kim Stanley Robinson
Opinion Polls quotes by Kim Stanley Robinson
Opinion polls are not worth the paper they are written on, in my view, through the conference season. They don't settle down again until November. ~ Norman Tebbit
Opinion Polls quotes by Norman Tebbit
The possibility of my presidential candidacy emerged spontaneously in public opinion polls. For my part, I noticed people's affection when I was doing work on the ground. I think the important thing is that my candidacy was born from citizens themselves, driven by the people and which the parties picked up favorably. ~ Michelle Bachelet
Opinion Polls quotes by Michelle Bachelet
Democracy is a proposal (rarely realized) about decision making; it has little to do with election campaigns. Its promise is that political decisions be made after, and in the light of, consultation with the governed. This is dependent upon the governed being adequately informed about the issues in question, and upon the decision-makers having the capacity and will to listen and take account of what they have heard. Democracy should not be confused with the 'freedom' of binary choices, the publication of opinion polls or the crowding of people into statistics. These are its pretences. Today the fundamental decisions, which effect the unnecessary pain increasingly suffered across the planet, have been and are taken unilaterally without any open consultation or participation. Both ~ John Berger
Opinion Polls quotes by John Berger
With the greatest respect, we do not make the criminal law on the basis of opinion polls. A majority of 9:1 could be in favour of a ban in my constituency, but I would not regard that as conclusive, and I hope that we never would. If we start having opinion polls about all the unpleasant and distasteful habits and customs of some members of society, and suggesting that their findings should be made part of the criminal law, foxhunting would come way down the list, and quite a lot of strange enactments would have to go through the House. ~ Kenneth Clarke
Opinion Polls quotes by Kenneth Clarke
There is only one opinion poll that I am interested in and that is the one that will take place on election day. ~ Michael Howard
Opinion Polls quotes by Michael Howard
Public opinion polls have long proved there is majority support for pretty much every issue that the women's movement has brought up, but those of us, women or men, who identify with feminism are still made to feel isolated, wrong, out of step. ~ Gloria Steinem
Opinion Polls quotes by Gloria Steinem
If you are guided by opinion polls, you are not practicing leadership
you are practicing followership. ~ Margaret Thatcher
Opinion Polls quotes by Margaret Thatcher
I think it's offensive to equate evangelical Christians, Catholics, others that view marriage as between a man and a woman, as being racist. We're not racist. We love our fellow man, we think we're all equal under God's eyes, we don't believe we should change the definition of marriage simply because of opinion polls or because of a court that quite frankly isn't looking at the constitution. ~ Bobby Jindal
Opinion Polls quotes by Bobby Jindal
There are a lot of polls that show that actually Americans have a pretty high opinion of teachers, that Americans think teachers are just about as prestigious as doctors. ~ Dana Goldstein
Opinion Polls quotes by Dana Goldstein
There's an opportunity for the corner drugstore to play a much greater role. Pharmacists have been extremely well respected - they're one of the top two or three most-trusted professionals in opinion polls year after year. ~ Gregory Wasson
Opinion Polls quotes by Gregory Wasson
Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action. ~ Ron Paul
Opinion Polls quotes by Ron Paul
This party will not take its position based on public opinion polls. We will not take a stand based on focus groups. We will not take a stand based on phone-in shows or householder surveys or any other vagaries of pubic opinion. ~ Stephen Harper
Opinion Polls quotes by Stephen Harper
The government must realize that it is the leader and not the slave of public opinion; that public opinion is not a static thing to be discovered and classified by public-opinion polls as plants are by botanists, but that it is a dynamic, ever changing entity to be continuously created and recreated by informed and responsible leadership; that it is the historic mission of the government to assert that leadership lest it be the demagogue who asserts it. ~ Hans J. Morgenthau
Opinion Polls quotes by Hans J. Morgenthau
By more than two to one Americans do not consider what Kevorkian did, injecting a terminally ill patient with legal drugs at the patient's request, to be the same as murder. You may want to note that laws are not supposed to be enforced on the basis of public opinion polls. ~ Dan Rather
Opinion Polls quotes by Dan Rather
Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing. ~ J.B. Priestley
Opinion Polls quotes by J.B. Priestley
No doubt the world's shamans have run the gamut from true believer to calculating fraud, and no doubt many true beliefs have been peppered by doubt. But so it is in other spiritual traditions, too. There are deeply religious Christian ministers who urge the congregation to pray for the ill even though they personally doubt that God uses opinion polls to decide who lives and who dies. ~ Robert Wright
Opinion Polls quotes by Robert Wright
At this very moment we are experiencing the consequences of man-made climate change. They are dramatic. However, opinion polls indicate that the people of this world are not particularly concerned. One ~ Jostein Gaarder
Opinion Polls quotes by Jostein Gaarder
And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives - they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet. ~ Joe Eszterhas
Opinion Polls quotes by Joe Eszterhas
I wanted to come to Washington, D.C. and help be a transformative President. And I think history, when they look back, will say this is a fellow who knew how to make decisions, and made some tough ones, stood by them, wasn't driven by the latest opinion poll, but was driven by some core principles from which he would not deviate. ~ George W. Bush
Opinion Polls quotes by George W. Bush
If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign. ~ George W. Bush
Opinion Polls quotes by George W. Bush
I do believe that the buck stops here, that I cannot rely upon public opinion polls to tell me what is right. ~ Gerald R. Ford
Opinion Polls quotes by Gerald R. Ford
The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money the government deserves and send it in. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents. ~ Llewellyn Rockwell
Opinion Polls quotes by Llewellyn Rockwell
I wasn't having any luck getting accepted anyway and it forced me to re-examine what it was that I really wanted to do. In my experience in political cartooning, I was never one of those people who read the headlines and foams at the mouth with rabid opinion that I've just got to get down on paper. ~ Bill Watterson
Opinion Polls quotes by Bill Watterson
One good thing about being an immigrant in the US, no one cares about my sociopolitical opinion. I exist like a bland wallpaper to all races. ~ Fidelis O. Mkparu
Opinion Polls quotes by Fidelis O. Mkparu
I've won each and every game that I've played.
Won every opinion I've ever conveyed.
Won every debate, no matter the topic.
I once had a tie--I felt philanthropic."

Making a deal? It has no superior!
Building a wall? The rest are inferior.
"My wall will be numero uno primero.
I'll pay for it using another's dinero."

And there is the crux of the Americus Trumpus:
The swagger, the boasting, the oversized rump-us. ~ Michael Ian Black
Opinion Polls quotes by Michael Ian Black
What is the big deal about Eminem? Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I like the fact that Eminem is brash and angry and politically incorrect. At least he has an opinion. He's stirring things up. He's provoking a discussion. He's making people's blood boil. He's reflecting what's going on in society right now. That is what art is supposed to do. ~ Madonna Ciccone
Opinion Polls quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Opinion Polls quotes by Henry David Thoreau
It reminds him of a tale the elder monks told him once, when he was a youngster: the Last Ride of the Tiger Tickler. There was, according to fiction, a man who came upon an untended tiger cub. He took it home and raised it, and, when it was fully grown, he took to riding into town on its back. He steered the beast with a silk handkerchief: he'd lean forward and flick the tiger's left or right ear to make it turn, or brush its nose to make it start or stop. Of course, the tiger, brought up on milk and honey lapped from a bowl held in the kind man's hands, didn't know any better, so he went along with it. Disregarding the tiresome details of the tale, when the Tiger Tickler mistakenly rides into town on a different tiger, who despite similar build and markings has a radically different opinion as to the rightful place of mankind (namely in, not on), everybody gets eaten up. ~ David Whiteland
Opinion Polls quotes by David Whiteland
You have to, in your own life, get people to want to work with you and want to help you. The organizational chart, in my opinion, means very little. I need my bosses' goodwill, but I need the goodwill of my subordinates even more. ~ Lloyd Blankfein
Opinion Polls quotes by Lloyd Blankfein
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum ... ~ Noam Chomsky
Opinion Polls quotes by Noam Chomsky
Having a gun held to your head helped sort out the big things in life from the little. So, some stranger's opinion of me given in the form of an uninspired insult? Not a big deal. ~ Kylie Scott
Opinion Polls quotes by Kylie Scott
The lure in art collecting and its financial rewards, not counting for a moment its aesthetic, cultural and intellectual rewards, is like the trust in paper money: it makes no sense when you really think about it. New artistic images are so vulnerable to opinion that it wouldn't take much more than a whim for a small group of collectors to decide that a contemporary artist was not so wonderful anymore, was so last year. ~ Steve Martin
Opinion Polls quotes by Steve Martin
I think two different people can read one of my books and come away with completely different opinions on the subject. I hope they just read from the beginning to the end and be made to think about the subject. Then they can come to their own conclusions. ~ Eric Schlosser
Opinion Polls quotes by Eric Schlosser
How could I be anything but a dissenter? Who wants the opinion of a group? ~ Saul Bellow
Opinion Polls quotes by Saul Bellow
He's a novice - he should keep his opinions to Japanese football ~ Alex Ferguson
Opinion Polls quotes by Alex Ferguson
I have received hostile voice mail messages and e-mails. They are often anonymous, I'm sad to say, as anonymous messages are delivered only by very low forms of human life, in my opinion. ~ Ben Brantley
Opinion Polls quotes by Ben Brantley
Effective self-government cannot succeed unless the people are immersed in a steady, robust, unimpeded, and uncensored flow of opinion and reporting which are continuously subjected to critique, rebuttal, and reexamination. ~ William O. Douglas
Opinion Polls quotes by William O. Douglas
Let me tell you how it's going to be, Justice. You don't tell me who I can and can't have inside my house. I work for the NSO but my personal life is my own. You lost the right to give me your opinion," she stressed that last word, "about what I do or don't do the second you decided you didn't want to see me anymore. You don't want me so don't you dare tell me I can't spend time with other men. ~ Laurann Dohner
Opinion Polls quotes by Laurann Dohner
To kill these (rabid) dogs, in my opinion, amount to himsa, but I believe it to be inevitable if we are to escape much greater himsa. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Opinion Polls quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Some men don't gel when it comes to work - you have different work ethics, different opinions, different points of views, different methods of filmmaking - and we didn't gel. ~ Antoine Fuqua
Opinion Polls quotes by Antoine Fuqua
It's difficult to choose between these art forms. Iconography is entirely different from the style of the 15th century masters, who were experts in foreshortening and perspective. The technical skill and visual effects of painters like Uccello have to be admired. They achieved a level of artistry that has never been surpassed, in my opinion. ~ Mary Pope Osborne
Opinion Polls quotes by Mary Pope Osborne
It is less that you are an adversary and more that you are someone with an opinion that (although frightening to me) might in some way enrich my own. And if I raise myself to being a partner with you on this mutual journey of ours, and if I refuse to bow to the posture of being a frightened adversary as you intersect my journey with a journey different than my own, we can profoundly change what we would have otherwise both died fighting over. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Opinion Polls quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
People have always wondered what my opinion on Stevie Wonder is. I say if he's so great how come he can't see? I mean, God doesn't make mistakes, just look at me for example. ~ Zach Braff
Opinion Polls quotes by Zach Braff
Nothing is so sad, in my opinion, as the devastation wrought by age.
My poor friend. I have described him many times. Now to convey to you the difference. Crippled with arthritis, he propelled himself about in a wheelchair. His once plump frame had fallen in. He was a thin little man now. His face was lined and wrinkled. His moustache and hair, and hair, it is true, were still of a jet black colour, but candidly, though I would not for the world have hurt his feelings by saying so to him, this was a mistake. There comes a moment when hair dye is only too painfully obvious. There had been a time when I had been surprised to learn that the blackness of Poirot's hair came out of a bottle. But now the theatricality was apparent and merely created the impression that he wore a wig and had adorned his upper lip to amuse children! ~ Agatha Christie
Opinion Polls quotes by Agatha Christie
I just never let anything bother me, man. I know myself really well. Nobody's opinion of me can shake my opinion of myself. ~ Ruben Studdard
Opinion Polls quotes by Ruben Studdard
How you present yourself is nobody's business but your own. The stylists have an opinion. The hair people have an opinion. The fans and the management have opinions. Ultimately, you have to trust that you are the safe-keeper of yourself. ~ Shirley Manson
Opinion Polls quotes by Shirley Manson
Bringing up wrongdoings of the Israeli government is therefore about as relevant to the Holocaust as mentioning the warmongering decisions of recent US administrations in relation to the slaughter of Native Americans when America was first colonized centuries ago. In other words, whatever your opinion of Israel's handling of the Middle East conflict – and we ourselves have some misgivings on that matter – that is in no way shape or form related to the facts of the Holocaust. ~ James Morcan
Opinion Polls quotes by James Morcan
I do not think that music keeps evolving. It evolved through Bach; since then, in my humble opinion, all the innovations added nothing. ~ Gordon Getty
Opinion Polls quotes by Gordon Getty
If you do not take risks for your opinion, you're nothing. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Opinion Polls quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
My opinion means nothing. It happens every day. The most unlikely people commit the most unlikely crimes. Nice old ladies poison whole families. Clean-cut kids commit multiple holdups and shootings. Bank managers with spotless records going back twenty years are found out to be long-term embezzlers. And successful and popular and supposedly happy novelists get drunk and put their wives in the hospital. We know damn little about what makes even our best friends tick. ~ Raymond Chandler
Opinion Polls quotes by Raymond Chandler
In my opinion, the only way to conquer stage fright is to get up on stage and play. Every time you play another show, it gets better and better. ~ Taylor Swift
Opinion Polls quotes by Taylor Swift
I learned early on - I can go to a shoot, and they will put anything they want to put on me, and I'll look like an idiot because I didn't say I don't like it. It's OK to have an opinion. ~ Zoe Kravitz
Opinion Polls quotes by Zoe Kravitz
The ideal in chess can only be a collective image, but in my opinion it is Capablanca who most closely approaches this ... ~ Anatoly Karpov
Opinion Polls quotes by Anatoly Karpov
One of the thoughts jostling for space was that there was no such thing as a humble opinion. ~ Terry Pratchett
Opinion Polls quotes by Terry Pratchett
The art of the novel, however, has fallen into such a state of stagnation - a lassitude acknowledged and discussed by the whole of critical opinion - that it is hard to imagine such an art can survive for long without some radical change. To many, the solution seems simple enough: such a change being impossible, the art of the novel is dying. ~ Alain Robbe-Grillet
Opinion Polls quotes by Alain Robbe-Grillet
It ticks me no end when people get ticked off at those of us who comment audibly and in print on events and problems. That's what we're paid for. Why clutter up your mind with a bunch of facts that might inhibit the solve-ability of us who must express an opinion? After all, all the world cries out for a solution to its problems, and we supply them right and left. Come to think of it, it's we who should be giving our deplorers and detractors the blast; because 99% of the time they don't do as we say. ~ Malcolm Forbes
Opinion Polls quotes by Malcolm Forbes
You know, it's really strange now with the Internet, with everyone having an unsolicited, anonymous opinion. ~ Jeff Daniels
Opinion Polls quotes by Jeff Daniels
You shall yourself be judge. Reason, with most people, means their own opinion. ~ William Hazlitt
Opinion Polls quotes by William Hazlitt
It has always been like that with changes. In 1913, we established divorce as a right for women in Uruguay. You know what they were saying back then? That families would dissolve. That it was the end of good manners and society. There has always been a conservative and traditional opinion out there that's afraid of change. When I was young and would go dancing at balls, we'd have to wear suits and ties. Otherwise they wouldn't let us in. I don't think anyone dresses up for dancing parties nowadays. ~ Jose Mujica
Opinion Polls quotes by Jose Mujica
A recent poll shows that a majority of blacks, whites, Asians and Hispanics do not think the Census should be classifying people as black, white, Asian and Hispanic. ~ Thomas Sowell
Opinion Polls quotes by Thomas Sowell
From that day, I vowed never to squander a moment's care over the good opinion of others. May they rot in hell. You have heard of my abstemiousness in matters of food and sex. Here is why: I punished myself. If I caught my thoughts straying to another's opinion of me, I sent myself to bed without supper. As for women, I likewise permitted myself none. I missed no few meals, and no small pleasure, before I brought this vice under control. ~ Steven Pressfield
Opinion Polls quotes by Steven Pressfield
My books don't seem to belong to me after I have once written them; and I find myself delivering opinions about them as if I had nothing to do with them. ~ George Eliot
Opinion Polls quotes by George Eliot
Global warming activists claim a serious public concern presently exists and the overwhelming majority of scientists agrees humans are creating a global warming crisis. The survey of AMS meteorologists, however, shows no such overwhelming majority exists. Indeed, to the extent we can assign a majority scientific opinion to whether all the necessary components of a global warming crisis exist, the AMS survey shows the majority does not agree humans are creating a global warming crisis. ~ James Taylor
Opinion Polls quotes by James Taylor
You perhaps know me as a novelist. Literature is one of the arts - in fact, the noblest of the arts. That is not my opinion; it was first expressed by the ancients. As art, literature has many similarities with the other art forms. ~ F. Sionil Jose
Opinion Polls quotes by F. Sionil Jose
Electoral contests have nothing but polls, which is why people have grown so obsessed with them; we're desperate for an objective rendering of what is happening and what may happen. ~ John Podhoretz
Opinion Polls quotes by John Podhoretz
In my opinion, no feminism worthy of the name is not methodologically post-marxist. ~ Catharine MacKinnon
Opinion Polls quotes by Catharine MacKinnon
It's okay to disagree with each other, what's not okay is to hate each other because we disagree. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Opinion Polls quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I felt at once that her opinion of me--her feeling towards me--was unchanged and unchangeable. I knew by her stony eye--opaque to tenderness, indissoluble to tears--that she was resolved to consider me bad to the last; because to believe me good would give her no generous pleasure: only a sense of mortification. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Opinion Polls quotes by Charlotte Bronte
It is, then, your opinion that Christmas time is an unlikely season for crime ? ~ Agatha Christie
Opinion Polls quotes by Agatha Christie
It takes time to earn trust and it takes time to learn to be open enough to work in at team in an effective way so that every contribution is "valuable" regardless of your personal opinion. ~ Auliq Ice
