ATLANTA/MACON — Mercer University’s Executive Forum, presented by BB&T, will feature Frank Luntz, the most quoted pollster in America, on Thursday in Atlanta and Macon. He will give lunch presentation at the Capital City Club at 12:30 p.m. and a dinner presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the Presidents Dining Room of the University Center on Mercer’s Macon campus.

More media outlets have turned to Dr. Luntz for focus groups and consulting than to any other political pollster, making him one of the most honored political and communication professionals in America today. In addition to having worked with ABC News, NBC News, PBS, the BBC, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report and The Wall Street Journal, Dr. Luntz has written and supervised more than 400 surveys for political and corporate clients around the world.

He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree, with honors, in history and political science, and was named a Thouron Fellow. Dr. Luntz earned his doctorate in politics at the age of 25 from Oxford University. He spoke for 24 straight hours as part of the Oxford Union Society’s Guinness Book of World Records debate. In the spring of 1993, Dr. Luntz was named a Fellow at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, the second-youngest individual ever to receive this honor.
