12/03/2007 - The September issue of GQ listed “The 50 Most Powerful People in D.C.” According to the magazine, “In Washington, you are either a person with power or a person who acts like he has power. How do you tell the contenders from the pretenders? We canvassed the city’s top think-tankers, congressional aides and political journalists to find out.”

One who made the list was Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. Here’s what GQ said about him: “Pew polls have the most widely cited stats out there: In the past 12 months, Kohut has shown up in the press 700 times. ‘Most polls tend to be superficial,’ says former Clinton adviser Paul Begala, ‘but Kohut has a reputation as a guy who asks why.’”
