The authors look at how this is emerging as one of the most serious dilemmas facing the American presidency. As presidents have become more isolated, the role of the presidential pollster has grown. Ken Walsh has been given exclusive access to the polls and confidential memos received by presidents over the years, and has interviewed presidential pollsters directly to gain their unique perspective. Prisoners of the White House gets inside the bubble and punctures the mythology surrounding the presidency. 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$xSocial life and customs 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPresidents 615 0$aPresidents$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aPolitical leadership 676 $a352.230973 700 $aWalsh$b Kenneth T.$01632554 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819540103321 996 $aPrisoners of the White House$93971778 997 $aUNINA
