Public opinion can be an expression of the consent of the governed, one
of the core values of our democratic system of government. Public opinion
can also be important for public officials and others interested in
representing the interests and ideas of various communities.
2. Political Knowledge (Roundtable)
Democracy is based on the ideal of popular consent. Popular consent is
expressed by things like voting, volunteering for campaigns, joining
organizations, obeying the law, etc. Public opinion surveys provide
another method for measuring consent.
