 The National Constitution Center and the Gallup Organization
co-sponsored a "school" for journalists at the National Press Club in
Washington, D.C., on public opinion polling on Thursday, August 19,
2004. The three-part program consisted of a nitty-gritty session on
polling procedures and ethics and a conversation about how political
campaigns use and spin polls, and how journalists respond to the spin.
This panel discussion was moderated by National Constitution Center
President and CEO Richard Stengel and included Ryan Lizza, White House
correspondent for The New Republic; Jake Tapper of ABC News; Jim Jordan,
director of Americans Coming Together and former campaign manager of the
John Kerry for President campaign; and Kim Alfano, a leading Republican
political consultant. The journalists also heard from Dr. Frank
Newport, Editor-in-Chief of the Gallup Poll, on the significance of
polling, based on his new book, Polling Matters. The program will air
on C-SPAN throughout August, (check the c-span website, www.c-span.org). Related organizations: The Gallup Organization
and the National Press Club.
