Next semester I will be leading a political science seminar.  The topic
for the semester will be public opinion polling.  I am seeking suggestions
for texts for the class.  The seminar will consist of two parts.  One
part will deal with the role of public opinion polls in American
democracy and the other part will involve conducting a poll.

I have reviewed one handbook on conducting a poll.  Entitled _Public
Opinion Polling_, it was written in 1987 by Celinda Lake.  Can anyone
suggest a more recent book in the same vein?  I was attracted to the
book because it complements a software package, but I have been
unable to locate the interest group which produced the software.

Thanks.
