The Clintons still love their polls

During the days of Bill Clinton's presidential administration, his love and dependence on polls became legendary. He met with his pollster practically daily. One time Clinton even had his pollster query the nation on what it thought of Martha's Vineyard as a Clinton summer vacation stop. Well, some things never change--see for example Senator Clinton's campaign's involvement in Barbara Streisand's recent endorsement: "Still, the singer’s value to Mrs. Clinton shouldn’t be scoffed at, another Streisand associate said on Wednesday. “We would’ve low-keyed it,” the associate said. “But the campaign says it’s a net plus. They polled it. Among Democratic primary voters, even in places like Iowa, they love Barbra. By the way, she just sold out concert tours around the world. And she’s great for fund-raising. In fact, a fund-raising letter signed by her went out this morning.”
