A Quote by N. Bhaskara Rao

Opinion polls often suffer on account of unexpected developments once the electoral process starts, such as the death of a political leader (as in the case of the late Rajiv Gandhi).

I am a Gandhian and a big fan of late Rajiv Gandhi.

Ravi Kishan

[ Rajiv Gandhi] was such an infinitely more attractive leader than his mother.

Bob Hawke

People who consider themselves political, who follow political developments most rigorously, are often those who view the political process with the greatest lack of perspective.

Boyd Rice

I have never been over concerned or obsessed with opinion polls or popularity polls. I think a leader who is, is a weak leader. Between being loved and being feared, I have always believed Machiavelli was right. If nobody is afraid of me, I'm meaningless.

Lee Kuan Yew

There is often little to distinguish what Beijing wants from what Canada's foreign affairs mandarins want out of the Canada-China relationship, which is in any case rarely even close to what Canadians want - like some demonstrable public benefit for once, the opinion polls consistently show.

Terry Glavin

In the 2012 election, the polls that had made Mitt Romney so confident that he was going to win were his own internal polls, based on models that failed to accurately estimate voter turnout. But the public polls, especially statewide polls, painted a fairly accurate picture of how the electoral college might go.

Kristen Soltis Anderson

These days there are not enough of such intermediary groups, between the state and the individual, with the result that political leaders are often unduly guided by opinion polls.

Jacques Delors

The temptation to be popular may prioritize public opinion above the word of God. Political campaigns and marketing strategies widely employ public opinion polls to shape their plans. Results of those polls are informative. But they could hardly be used as grounds to justify disobedience to God’s commandments!

Russell M. Nelson

I have looked at public opinion polls in France in the late 1940s and early 1950s during the height of Marshall Plan aid. They had a very negative attitude towards the United States then. There were negative attitudes towards the United States because of Vietnam. There were negative attitudes about the United States when Reagan wanted to deploy intermediate range ballistic missiles. I don't think the president should base his foreign policy on American public opinion polls, let alone foreign public opinion polls.

John Bolton

What has become clear to many Americans is that the electoral system is bankrupt. As the political process becomes more privatized, outsourced, and overrun with money from corporations and billionaires, a wounded republic is on its death bed, gasping for life.

Henry Giroux

In the 00s, it was often claimed that political apathy had replaced political participation. Membership of political parties and electoral turnout were both said to be in irreversible decline.

Owen Jones

If it was not for Rajiv Gandhi, urbanization in India would have been history.

Kushal Pal Singh

There is no problem between Giani Zail Singh and Rajiv Gandhi.

Rajiv Gandhi

I believe [ Rajiv Gandhi] had a real sense that he would be assassinated.

Bob Hawke

I was a very good friend of Rajiv Gandhi, and I had affection for Sonia as his wife.

Subramanian Swamy

Squabbling in public will eventually ruin football; there's no doubt it's hurting us already. Polls taken by Louis Harris - polls as valid as any political polls - indicate that very clearly.

Pete Rozelle
