Public Opinion: Democratic Ideals, Democratic Practice by Rosalee A. Clawson, Zoe M. Oxley

4.0

---

This book is a great place to start learning about public opinion. The authors raise questions about citizen’s place in democracy and how much influence public opinion should have on policymaking. Using real examples and research they present the reader with different perspectives and then go a step further to interpret the findings through the viewpoint of different democratic theorist perspectives. At the end of each chapter a list is provided of other works on the topic discussed and short descriptions so that if the subject interests you then you can get more in depth information. Overall great book!
