 JMCC / Public Opinion Polls
As shown in figure 4, 85% of the Fateh supporters said that, in their opinion, the performance of the Palestinian Authority is good.
Again a breakdown of the surveyed Palestinians according to their trust or distrust in political factions shows, that the relatively high number of respondents stating that they support the peace process is merely a result of the high support for the peace process amongst Fateh supporters.
As shown in figure 12, only 33.8% of the respondents thought that other people supported the peace process, whilst 42.9% said that other people are hesitant in their attitudes towards the peace process.

Many winners (political parties) in the previous political elections (1995 elections for the State Duma) lost these December 1999 elections, because they accepted a wrong strategy for their political campaign.

Depending on your point of view, she could go down in history as either inspirational battler for the rights of the ordinary Australian, or a symbol of the worst in reactionary, white Australian conservatism.
At the height of her influence in the late 1990s, this red-haired, hard-edged, twice-divorced mother of four shook the political establishment, provoked outrage, and inspired a legion of satirists.
In August 2003 she was found guilty of illegally using the names of 500 members of a support group to register One Nation as a political party, as well as fraudulently obtaining almost A$500,000 (US$325,000) in electoral funds.

 TCS: Tech Central Station - A Post-Election Blog Funk?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Figure 1 shows the traffic statistics for three of the top political blogs -- Daily Kos, Instapundit, and Power Line from late October through mid December of 2004.
All is not lost, however, because in the months prior to the election, the top political blogs showed a huge growth in traffic from the early part of the year.
Reading Figure 2 to say that "200,000 readers visited Instapundit in November" is simply wrong, because although we know how many visits were tracked, we don't actually know anything about how many individual people generated those visits.

 Encyclopedia of the Arctic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The increasing political salience of environmental and conservation issues, together with the increasing articulation of indigenous rights, has led to the emergence of the Arctic as an international political region and the design of several frameworks for collaboration on the environment and sustainable development in the Arctic.
Various definitions illuminate the fact that understandings of the Arctic are, in part, based on particular scientific, political and disciplinary concerns, and that specific definitional criteria are far too restrictive and cannot always be applied across disciplines.
Yet, even in three volumes, it is impossible to cover every topic, or to include entries on every town and political figure, every aspect of ecology and environmental change, or every river, mountain range or aspect of human culture.

Since it is notable that Roberts got the most Senate votes (remember the number of Senators has been the same for almost a century) I noted the actual reason that others had higher percentages but fewer votes.
In this nomination, every single opponent wanted to register their opposition to prove a political point.
In the past, those opposing often didn't wish to go on record against someone who would be invested in an independent branch of government.

 Sen. Aquilino Q. Pimentel : News : PELAEZ WAS MINDANAO’S MOST EMINENT POLITICAL FIGURE OF LAST CENTURY -- PIMENTEL
“Although we were at odds politically speaking at various points of my political career, I must say that Maning, as we his brethren from Mindanao would call him fondly, was Mindanao’s most eminent political figure of the last century,” he said.
In fact, Pimentel said, were it not for Pelaez’s brand of democratic politics, he would not have tried to vie for public support in the electoral arena.
If Pelaez was a political terrorist and assassin, Pimentel said he would never have become a politician himself and would never have succeeded in landing various elective offices in his home province, Misamis Oriental and its capital, Cagayan de Oro City and eventually nationally.

One must also mention that the foreign mass media have laid emphasis on Mr Khodorkovsky's political activity and on the fact that this person clearly intends to become the next president of his country after Vladimir Putin.
A Russian political commentator condemns the Russian government's support for the new Georgian leadership, saying the coup d'etat should have been prevented by force.
With elections just around the corner, the political system that President Vladimir Putin has helped to build is beginning to show that Russia's 'stability' is in fact a house of cards built on false and illusory assumptions.

Danny Wan is hardly a political vet, but he's headed that way, having risen from the EBMUD board to the state's Regional Water Quality Control Board to the Oakland City Council all before his fortieth birthday.
A public finance attorney appointed in the fall of 2000 to fill John Russo's seat, Wan quickly scored a powerful role as chair of the city's Finance Committee.
Perhaps the best evidence: In March, when Wan's seat was up for grabs, nobody bothered to challenge him.

“Although we were at odds politically speaking at various points of my political career, I must say that Maning, as we his brethren from Mindanao would call him fondly, was Mindanao’s most eminent political figure of the last century,” Pimentel said.
Pimentel said Pelaez’s spotless record as congressman, senator, vice president and ambassador and the fact that he had only one wife, Edith, was an honest indictment of the way other politicians lived their public lives.
The senator from Mindanao said Pelaez stood out head and shoulders over other political figures of his time not only in the realm of integrity but also in paying his dues for the things he stood for.
