匡威在1964年发表的开创性文章探讨了传统民意调查所揭示的民意的三个关键局限性：信息水平、信仰体系和非态度。从民主理论的角度来看，这些局限性是重要的，但我们有可能设计出一些公共咨询和社会科学研究的形式，来揭示如果这些局限性被克服了，公众舆论会是什么样子。深思熟虑的民意调查是一项努力，以探索这种反事实的公众舆论的轮廓-一个比大众更知情和参与。要做到这一点，就需要超越“只做民意调查”的范围。
Converse's seminal 1964 article explored three crucial limitations of public opinion as it is revealed in conventional polls: information levels, belief systems, and nonattitudes. These limitations are significant from the standpoint of democratic theory, but it is possible to design forms of public consultation and of social-science research that will reveal what public opinion might be like if these limitations were somehow overcome. Deliberative Polling is an effort to explore the contours of such a counterfactual public opinion-one that is more informed and engaged than is the mass public. Doing so requires going beyond "polling alone".
