The correct answer is D) all of the above are reasons an official would pay attention to polls.

A public official would pay attention to what a poll says to determine the level of public support for his programs, to obtain information that will help him get re-elected to office, and to find out what the public thinks of a particular policy.

Public officials are exposed to public scrutiny and mass media scrutiny. Their work is open to critics or accolades. So that is why they are constantly monitoring mass media, TV News, Opinion shows, newspapers and of course, polls, to know what people think about their work and the way they can change public perception.

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
