Demonstrates the power of scientific surveys in shaping Americans' sense of themselves as individuals, members of communities, and citizens of a nation. Tracing how ordinary people argued about and adapted to a public awash in aggregate data, this book reveals how survey techniques and findings became the vocabulary of mass society.
