Is there any research into how publicizing polls alters the
outcome of future polls?
If people watch televised poll results that indicate 30
percent of the public believes X, will that cause an upward
shift in the percentage who believe X? Is there a critical
polling mass (50 percent? 60 percent?) when a polled opinion
about X multiplies itself? And how does the frequency of
publicizing polls alter future polled opinion?
I bet John McCreery knows something about this.
