'''Bernie Ross Pinsonat''' (born August 25, 1941)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mylife.com/bernie-pinsonat/e670582847172|title=Bernie Pinsonat|publisher=Mylife.com|accessdate=December 3, 2018}}</ref> is a pollster whose Southern Media and Opinion Research Company is based in [[Baton Rouge]], [[Louisiana]].
Formerly of [[Houston, Texas|Houston]], [[Texas]], Pinsonat entered the polling business through the encouragement of his [[golf]]ing friend, [[J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.]], the Louisiana [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] [[U.S. Senator]] from 1972 to 1997, who named Pinsonat early in his career to Johnston's Pinsonat's polls often include questions inserted "just for fun". Pinsonat drew the ire of [[Governor]] [[Edwin Edwards]], who defeated Johnston in the 1971 Democratic runoff [[primary]]. The more Edwards criticized Pinsonat, the more business the polling company acquired. Pinsonat said that he gets the most satisfaction from his independent political polls, but the mainstay of his company, in partnership with Buster McKenzie, consists of surveys for corporations and election campaigns.<ref name=lapolitics>{{cite web|url=https://lapolitics.com/2013/11/lapolitics-newsmaker-bernie-pinsonat/|title=LaPolitics Newsmaker: Bernie Pinsonat|author=Kelly Connelly|date=November 26, 2013|publisher=Lapolitics.com|accessdate=December 3, 2018}}</ref>
