Abstract
The Secretary of Agriculture and his assistant discuss the use of public opinion polls by policy-making officials to the end that administrative programs may conform to the public will in the interests of efficient democratic administration. Secretary Wallace is among the first public officials to receive a public opinion rating through straw polls, a recent Gallup survey indicating that 73 per cent of U.S. farmers think he has done a good job as Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. McCamy is on extended leave from Bennington College, where he is Professor of Government, to serve as one of Mr. Wallace's four general assistants; he is the author of Government Publicity, which is reviewed in this issue of the QUARTERLY.
