Poll-crazed Bill Clinton even polled on his dog's name

Former President Bill Clinton required up to 60 polls a year to determine everything from his positions to vacation destinations and even polled on his Labrador retriever Buddy, according to a new book from U.S. News White House correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh.

In “Prisoners of the White House, the Isolation of America’s Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership,” the long-serving presidential reporter quotes a 1998 memo to Clinton from his pollster about how the public viewed Buddy versus other big stories of the new year.
