  Frank Luntz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luntz is the son of Lester L. Luntz, D.D.S. January 24, 1924-February 15, 1996), a pioneer in the field of forensic dentistry, and Phyllys Luntz (January 8, 1926).
Frank Luntz attended the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Oxford and was in the Oxford Union's Standing Committee with Michael Gove, now an Conservative Member of Parliament.
Although Luntz later tried to distance himself from the Bush administration policy, it was his idea to discredit the idea of global warming science to keep the issue from influencing voters in the 2000 and 2004 US presidential elections.

 Environmental Working Group || Briefing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Frank Luntz is known as the architect of House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s 1994 “Contract with America,” and he has a “who’s who” corporate lobbyist client list along with a large number of conservative politicians.
Republican pollster Frank Luntz, whose work steered much of the “Contract” campaign, warned GOP leaders in a memo last July that 62 percent of American voters — and even 54 percent of Republican voters — would prefer to see Congress do more to protect the environment rather than cut regulations.
The importance of the Luntz memo and its coaching is that the administration and its allies from polluting industries are using language as a weapon – one nearly as potent as the policies that they need to obscure.

Luntz also advised, "'Conservative' is a more popular label than 'Republican'." Put these pieces of advice together and you get "compassionate conservatism." This is not to claim that Frank Luntz advised George W. Bush directly, but the president's speechwriters seem to have absorbed the lesson.

Frank Luntz is a researcher who tests messages, marketing and polling on what best works to "sell" GOP policies to the unwary, and is the authority in the party for crafting a unified, market tested sound bites for the GOP agenda.
In April 2003 Luntz made headlines when a memo - "The Environment: a cleaner, safer, healthier America" - he prepared for GOP leaders on how to win "the environmental communications battle" was leaked to the press.
Media Matters for America wrote a letter to MSNBC urging that Luntz not be included in the station's presidential debate coverage, due to "Luntz's partisan Republican ties and history of questionable scientific methodology." MSNBC did decide to cancel Luntz's participation, two days before the first debate.

 WorkingForChange-Luntz on the loose
In 1992, Luntz founded the Alexandria, VA-based Luntz Research Companies, which according to its web site is "the premier corporate and public affairs communications firm in Washington." According to Dun and Bradstreet, Luntz, the organization's president, owns all 5,000 shares of the company.
Although Frank Luntz more likely prefers the privacy of the "secret" memo to the scrutiny of the media, in late September, the boyish-looking Luntz made the news when he was dropped by MSNBC from the cable network's debate coverage.
Luntz is "possibly the best example of what we could call the pollster pundit: someone who both purports to scientifically poll the opinions of the public, and then also interpret that data to support his own -- in Luntz's case, conservative -- point of view," Chinni reported in a May 20, 2000 Salon piece.

Toward the end of 2004, Frank Luntz published a seminal and relatively perceptive study of the attitudes of American university students to Israel and Zionism.
Luntz missed the significance of some of his major findings, and therefore his recommendations are often incorrect.
Luntz's study was also not scientific in any sense of the term, or at least if it was, you could have no way of knowing it from the brochure I read.

In general, Luntz says, candidates need to shy away from making economic arguments, since the party is perceived to be so close to business, and instead portray the party’s platform as being for a “safer,” “cleaner,” and “healthier” environment.
Luntz says that Republicans must stress that “the scientific debate remains open” and that rushing to conclusions about global warming would harm America.

To give Luntz the benefit of the doubt, maybe he really believed in 2002 that the debate over climate change science was legitimate and not the result of a concerted energy-industry campaign to confuse the public.

Discredited Republican pollster Frank Luntz, CEO and president of Luntz Research Companies, made four appearances during MSNBC's coverage of the Democratic (July 28 and July 29) and Republican (September 1 and September 2) National Conventions, touting flawed focus groups in three of his appearances.
The overall results of Luntz's convention studies were not overtly in favor of either presidential candidate -- the focus groups' results for each convention generally favored each convention's featured party.
Luntz' type of sleazy public relations crap has now blended so much into the landscape that the general public probably wouldn't want to lose people like him.
