Polls and the media in Canadian elections : taking the pulse / Guy Lachapelle.: Z1-1989/2-41-16E-PDF

"This volume is one of six in the Royal Commission's research series dealing with electoral communication. Like the other studies, it is concerned not only with technical matters but also with issues of fairness in electoral competition and public confidence in the electoral process. In addition, like much of the research reported in these volumes, it has an important comparative dimension. The study was initiated because of concerns raised in the public hearings of the Commission about published opinion polls"--Preface.
