Application of information and complexity theories to public opinion polls. The case of Greece (2004-2007). Abstract A general methodology to study public opinion inspired from information and complexity theories is outlined. It is based on probabilistic data extracted from opinion polls. It gives a quantitative information-theoretic explanation of high job approval of Greek Prime Minister Mr. Constantinos Karamanlis (2004-2007), while the same time series of polls conducted by the company Metron Analysis showed that his party New Democracy (abbr. ND) was slightly higher than the opposition party of PASOK-party leader Mr. George Papandreou. It is seen that the same mathematical model applies to the case of the popularity of President Clinton between January 1998 and Febru-ary 1999, according to a previous study, although the present work extends the investigation to concepts as complexity and Fisher information , quantifying the organization of public opinion data.
