Dotty Lynch ’66 is an Executive in Residence in the School of Communication at American University and a political consultant for CBS News. The 2012 election marks Lynch's 22nd election cycle in congressional and presidential campaigns as a professional journalist and pollster. She was the Senior Political Editor of CBS News from 1985-2005 and is now an on-air political analyst for CBS Radio and a member of the CBS News Election Decision Desk. Lynch began her career in politics and journalism at NBC News in 1968 and joined the polling firm of Cambridge Survey Research in 1972, where she worked on polling for the presidential campaigns of George McGovern and Jimmy Carter, and for many Senate and gubernatorial campaigns. In 1979-80 she worked as an in-house pollster for the presidential campaign of Senator Edward Kennedy. In the 1980s Lynch developed the concept of the gender gap and is one of the major authorities on the topic of women in politics. In 1983, she opened Lynch Research, a political polling firm where she was the first women pollster in a presidential campaign for the Gary Hart presidential race and the Mondale-Ferraro general election. On September 20th, Dotty will be discussing media, politics and reporting as they apply to the 2012 election. There will be time for dialogue and discussion directly following the presentation. This lecture is being sponsored by our Student Government Association at Marymount Manhattan College. For Dotty’s full biography, please visit Dotty Lynch.
