Samuel L. Popkin (born 9 June 1942) is a noted political scientist who teaches at the University of California, San Diego. He received his Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1969. Popkin has played a role in the development of rational choice theory within political science. He is also noted for his work as a pollster. Popkin has published in unusually diverse areas. His most recent book is "The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns"; earlier he co-authored "Issues and Strategies: The Computer Simulation of Presidential Campaigns"; and he co-edited "Chief of Staff: Twenty-Five Years of Managing the Presidency". He is equally well known for his work on peasant society, with particular reference to East and Southeast Asia, including "The Rational Peasant: The Political Economy of Rural Society in Vietnam". Popkin has also been a consulting analyst in presidential campaigns, serving as consultant on Bill Clinton's presidential campaign on polling and strategy, to the CBS News election units from 1983 to 1990 on survey design and analysis, and more recently to the Gore campaign. He has also served as consultant to political parties in Canada and Europe and to the Departments of State and Defense. His current research focuses on presidential campaigns and the relationship of public opinion to foreign policy. He is married to Susan Shirk, Professor of Political Science at the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California, San Diego."
