英语词汇gallup poll的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Gallup Poll. The Gallup Poll is the best known, though not the first, public-opinion poll. It was originated by Dr. George Horace Gallup (b. 1901), a professor of journalism at North- western University. Gallup developed his technique about 1933, basing it on carefully phrased questions and scientifically se- lected samples. He became prominent nationally by predicting the outcome of the 1936 American presidential election, when many other pollsters failed. His poll, operating both at home and abroad, has proved remarkably accurate but is far from in- fallible. In the 1948 national elections, for example, Gallup chose the late Governor Thomas E. Dewey over incumbent President Truman.
